Things I've heard a thousand times
Since I could understand
Convictions written on my heart
Have made me who I am
It's all I've ever known
But I had to find some answers of my own

All the words we say
All the prayers we pray
Truths that I've been longing to believe
So many sacred things
The songs of faith we sing
Teachings I have pondered carefully
It wasn't 'till I finally
Got down on my knees
That it all became real to me

I've always tried to do my best
To follow what is right
I've leaned on those who say they know
And lived on borrowed light
I reached out for his hand
'Cause I had to find the answers for myself

All the words we say
All the prayers we pray
Truths that I've been longing to believe
So many sacred things
The songs of faith we sing
Teachings I have pondered carefully
It wasn't 'till I finally
Got down on my knees
That it all became real to me

My humble prayers were answered
He took away my doubt
All of the things I'd hope someday I'd feel
Now they're real

All the words I say
All the prayers I pray
Truths that I've been longing to believe
So many sacred things
The songs of faith they sing
Teachings I have pondered carefully
I found the faith to finally
Get down on my knees
Now it's real
It's real
Now it's all become real to me
