Lyrics:
Verse 1
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Not the word
Not the love
Not that you felt from above

It feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

Chorus
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail....
FOLLOW THE GOD THAT FAILED

Verse 2
Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road on your way

Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
