It Took a Faith

When a desert dweller built his God a boat
It took a faith
When on water stepped a fellow, knowing he could float
It took a faith

Oh, when a pint-size lad whipped a giant of a man
And all he had was a slingshot in his hand
When walls tumble down at a trumpet blast
It took more than a wish that it would come to past

It took a faith (it took a faith), it took a stand (a stand)
It took a firm belief in a supernatural plan
It took a hope (hope), it took a dare (a dare)
It took a mighty God and a fervent prayer
No trick, no fluke, no mistake (no mistake), just faith

When you first receive what God had done for you
It took a faith
Just a mustard seed, but just the same it's true
It took a faith (it took a faith)

So when the water's deep, and the storm is great (the storm is great)
When giants keep your strength away (you've got no strength)
When life tumbles down around your feet
Just recall what it took when you first believed

It took a faith (it took a faith), it took a stand (a stand)
It took a firm belief in a supernatural plan
It took a hope (hope), it took a dare (a dare)
It took a mighty God and a fervent prayer
No trick, no fluke, no mistake (no mistake), just faith
Oh, whoa, just faith

Oh, something so attainable
It's power's unrestrainable
And so easily explainable
'Cause for every great work
That has ever been done

It took a faith, it took a stand (a stand)
It took a firm belief in a supernatural plan (it took a faith)
It took a hope (hope), it took a dare (a dare)
It took a mighty God and a fervent prayer
No trick, no fluke, (no mistake) no mistake
It took a dare
Just faith

It took a faith, it took a hope
Gotta have faith, faith, faith
They took a stand, they took a dare
It's not a trick, it's not a fluke, it's no mistake
It took a firm belief in a supernatural plan
