I’ve been trying to do everything right,
So why is everything going wrong?
I’ve been doing my best to fight a good fight,
But the enemy is just too strong.
Where are you, Father, when I need you most of all?
Why don’t you answer, when you hear my fervent call?
CHORUS:
Lord, increase my faith –
Shine through my heavy darkness, show me the way.
Lord, my strength is fading fast –
I’m not sure I can outlast this storm.
Keep me from harm, Lord: Increase my faith.
I’m afraid, Father – I don’t understand –
What is happening to me here?
Why have you withdrawn your heavenly hand,
Leaving me alone to struggle here?
In an instant you could break
Every chain that holds me bound:
You could heal my wings so I could fly,
But here am I, stuck to the ground!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Please sustain me and direct me;
Father, help me and protect me.
If you leave me alone,
How can you expect me to hold on? (Keychange)
Lord, increase my faith –
Shine through my heavy darkness, show me the way.
Lord, my strength is fading fast –
I’m not sure I can outlast this storm.
Keep me from harm, Lord:
Where is your sustaining arm, Lord?
Through this long, relentless storm, Lord,
Increase my fading…
Faith.
