Never Gonna Break My Faith (feat. The Harlem Boys Choir)

My Lord, I have read this book so many times

But nowhere can I find the page that says

What I experienced today has any grace

Now I know that life is meant to be hard

That's how I learned to appreciate my God

Though my courage may be tried, I can tell you I won't hide

Because the footprints show you were by my side

You can lie to a child with a smiling face

Tell me that color ain't about a race

You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones

But you're never gonna break, you're never gonna break my faith

Faith and hope ain't yours to give

Truth and liberty are mine to live

Steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings

But you're never gonna break, you're never gonna break my faith

My Lord, won't you help them, help them, help them to understand

That when someone takes the life of an innocent man, woo

Well, they never really won because all they've really done

Is set the soul free where it's supposed to be[Chorus: Aretha Franklin]

You can lie to a child with a smiling face

Tell me that color ain't about a race

You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones

But you're never, you're never gonna break my faith

Faith and hope ain't yours to give

Truth and liberty are mine to live

Steal a crown from a king, break an angel's wings

But you're never gonna break, you're never gonna break my faith

For those we lose before their time

I pray their souls will find the light

I know that the day will surely come

When his will, His will will be done

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, it will be

You're never gonna break my faith

Oh yeah

He will, He will, He will

Never gonna break my faith

You're never gonna break my faith, never, never

I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on

Never, never, never

Never, never

Never, never, never, never, never, never

You're never gonna break my faith

Oh yeah, ain't gonna break my faith

Never, never
