Lyrics
The Faith of A Child
Victoria Theodore copyright Ac 2008
1. Doctor told her that she had a disease.
She's just a child, daddy's girl, only 3.
Her mother cried out because she could not believe:
How could God let this be?
And then this child, reached out and touched her mother's face.
The baby smiled, wiped the teardrops away.
Don't cry, mama, I'm gonna be ok.
You taught me to pray.
Chorus:
Have but the faith of a child.
Believe in your heart you can fly.
Nothing's impossible.
Know that it's true.
It's true.
2. As a baby, such a healthy little girl.
Always happy, a little princess in curls.
Her big brother, the very center of her world.
And yet this could happen to her.
Two years later, through chemotherapy and pain,
She lost her hair, but its growing back again.
She's a witness, a miracle of faith.
So give Him all the praise.
Bridge:
Her arms are covered in scars
from the doctor's needle trying to save her life.
But her smile is brighter than the stars
Because she knows that she is held in mercy's light.
She inspires me to encourage you
If you just believe, God will see you through!
