Faith

He thought he was in trouble
His life seemed such a mess
But when he asked the question
He heard the answer Yes

He thought he couldn't manage
He suffered such distress
But when he asked the question
He heard the answer Yes

So then he pulled his socks up
He put his boots back on
He knew he had a job to do
And that he must be strong

If you're ever in deep water
(I am, I confess)
Then ask for some assistance
And hope the answer's Yes



Deep Water


Faith answer's this question
