Where Faith Begins

She's remembering herself
In a crinoline dress
Peaches and cream
Jumping rope with finesse
Daddy's there to take her
On her first day of school
She stares through the doorway
It's all strange and new
She wants to run back home again
She's standing where faith begins

Only moments ago
A bouquet in her hand
Music is playing
As the family stands
The groom at the altar
Has promised his heart
Together they're saying
"'Til death do us part"
Scary for her and for him
They're standing where faith begins

Step out of the past
Time has opened the door
Move on to the place
You could not go before
On the edge of tomorrow
Where yesterday ends
This is where faith begins
This is where faith begins

Through hard times and the good times
The joy and despair
Raising the children
The love that they shared
Then starting all over
Like survivors will do
When the only man she ever loved
Was taken too soon
Finding strength from the last moment when
She was standing where faith begins

As she sailed down the rivers
Of questioning why
Blessings and trials falling
From the same sky
She held close to the promise
That God makes a way somehow
Somehow

Now close by her side
All her loved ones are near
She is at peace
As they whisper their prayers
Angels are waiting
To usher her home
This time she faces
The last great unknown
Jesus will welcome her in
She's standing where faith begins

Step out of the past
Time has opened the door
Move on to the place
You could not go before
On the edge of tomorrow
Where yesterday ends
This is where faith begins
This is where faith begins

Oh, step out of your past
Time has opened the door
Move on to the place
You could not go before
On the edge of tomorrow
Where yesterday ends
This is where faith begins
Oh, this is where faith begins
