Lyrics
Some nights there wasn't much on the table
But that never stopped us from giving God thanks
Momma and daddy did the best that they could
Always reminding us that God is Good
Chorus
We walked by faith and not by sight
Lived on love knowing that God would provide
We never stoped praisin' our Lord Jesus Christ
Through the good times and bad
He has been by our side
Walked by faith and not by sight
Lived on love knowing that God would provide
We never stopped praising our Lord Jesus Christ
In the morning there is joy
I know what its like
To feel proverty's sting
How folks without hope
Can lose their dreams
But I was raised believing God would provide
That there is a purpose in everyones life
Chorus:
