Got Faith

Many people think
they know what faith is all about
They stand up and profess it
but inside them, lingers doubt
I prayed to God, some years ago
To show me what Faith is
That I might understand it well
just like a Son of His
I did not know the path I chose
Had then been laid for me
But things would happen, each new day
So I'd begin to see

I found when I had money
And processions stored away
I felt I was protected
from that painful rainy day
But then, became so poor
Without a pot to pee 
But found the things I needed
Were delivered unto me
Today I do not drink
From this worldly greed filled fountain
But instead, sip on faith
That will help me move a mountain
