Lyrics:
(Intro)
[Soft, melancholic piano. Minimalist.]
(Spoken, tired)
How do you surrender...
When you're tired of fighting?
(Verse 1)
[Source: "July 27, 2016 Note"]
Hiding your struggles in everyday life.
Hiding from ridicule... afraid to go on.
I have messed up too many times and I'm done.
Tired and drained... what's next?
Jesus has been knocking at my door.
Trying to save me from slipping into the darkness.
(Chorus)

[Music swells. Hopeful energy.]
But WHEN FAITH COMES... struggles stop!
WHEN FAITH COMES... struggles fade!
Peace takes hold! Joy overcomes!
When the world seems to pull you under.
There is always hope for the hopeless!
(Hope for the hopeless!)
(THE HOOK)

[Powerful Chant.]
Break the chains!
End the stronghold!
Through Him He gives strength!
When faith comes.
(Verse 2)
[Source: "July 27, 2016" + "Some New Ideas???"]
[Drums kick in. Driving rhythm.]
Why is it when I am getting ahead?
The devil comes out of hiding putting obstacles in my way?
Simple things seem to get in the way.
And you just want to give up.
No sight of tomorrow... surrounded by sorrow.
But it doesn't have to be that way!
(Chorus)
WHEN FAITH COMES... struggles stop!
WHEN FAITH COMES... struggles fade!
Peace takes hold! Joy overcomes!
There is always hope for the hopeless!
(THE HOOK)
Break the chains!
End the stronghold!
Through Him He gives strength!
(Verse 3)

[Music pulls back. Intimate prayer.]
Dear Lord, I give You my hands to do Your work!
I give You my feet to go Your way!
I give You my eyes to see as You see!
I give You my tongue to speak Your words!
I give You my mind so You may think in me!
(Bridge)
[Source: "Morning Prayer"]
[Music builds to a massive crescendo. Gospel Choir enters.]
Above all... I give You my HEART!
Love the Father and love all humankind!
I give You my WHOLE SELF, Lord!
That You may grow in me!
(Grow in me!)
(Final Chorus)
WHEN FAITH COMES... struggles stop!
WHEN FAITH COMES... struggles fade!
Peace takes hold! Joy overcomes!
(Outro)
[Piano fades]
[Source: "Morning Prayer"]
It is You who lives, works, and prays in me.
Amen.
(Song ends)
