I Need To Have Faith
I need to have faith
It is God doing and not me
Struggle I may
But he gives increase
O that I would rest
In the knowledge
That he alone is king
I need to have hope
It is God blessing and not me
Worry I may
But he gives calmness
O that I would rest
In the knowledge
That he alone is king
I need to have love
It is God giving and not me
Romance I may
But he gives fertility.

Ho ha
Bend with grace
Upon your faithful servants
They love you
O African goddess!
