Borrowed Faith
by David Robertson

Album: Someone Who Cares

My father was a Christian
And his father before him
I've been going to church on Sundays
Since before I don't know when
And I've been taught about the values
That make up a godly life
And I can quote you scripture
If you're looking for advice
But tonight my heart is aching
And words won't set it free
Yeah, Lord, it's coming down
To You and me

I've been living on borrowed faith
Runnin' somebody else's race
I've been going through the motions
Without seeking Your face
But now I'm gonna surrender all
And no matter what it takes
'Cause, Lord, I'm tired
Of living on borrowed faith

Yeah

I know I should be standin'
On the rock of solid ground
Instead of leaning on traditions
That my heritage passed down
I've been followin' the pathways
That were laid in front of me
Yeah, but now I'm gonna follow
Yeah, where You lead

I've been living on borrowed faith
Runnin' somebody else's race
(Runnin' the race)
I've been going through the motions
Without seeking Your face
But now I'm gonna surrender all
And I don't care what it takes
'Cause, Lord, I'm tired
Of living on borrowed faith

It's not about how many times
I've been inside a church's walls, yeah
Until I know You one on one
I won't know You at all
And I wanna know You, Lord

But I've been living on borrowed faith
Runnin' somebody else's race
(Runnin' the race)
I've been going through the motions
Without seeking Your face
But now I'm gonna surrender all
And I don't care what it takes
'Cause, Lord, I'm tired
Of living on borrowed faith, yeah

'Cause, Lord, I'm tired
Of living on borrowed faith

Tired of living
Tired of living on borrowed faith
Tired of living
Tired of living on borrowed faith...
