Amy Grant's 'Faith Walkin' People' is a song about trusting God beyond feelings and circumstances. It encourages believers to rely on faith rather than emotions, people, or future plans, which are all temporary. The lyrics emphasize that true life is found in a relationship with God, even when His plans are not fully understood. The song draws on the biblical idea of walking by faith, not by sight, and finding joy in letting go of control. It is a gentle reminder that faith involves trusting God's wisdom and living with eternal perspective.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Well it seems with You there is something new
Every time I turn around
Oh I never really know quite what to expect
But it won't get me down
Cause I know You bring each and every thing
Just to teach me how to live
And the secret of it all is trusting in You
And the wisdom to give
[Chorus:]
Say goodbye to the feelings 'cause the feelings go away
Say goodbye to the people 'cause the people never stay
Say goodbye to the future if it blinds you today
Say goodbye to the reasoning that's standing in the way,
Oh we've got to break away
Break away to be...
Faith-walkin' people... can't rely on everything we feel
Faith-talkin' people... we must discern what's really real
Faith-walkin' people... can't believe in everything we see
Faith-talkin' people seems like such a mystery
And in all the earth there is nothing worth
Half as much as life with You.
'Cause the people and the things we're counting on here
Are gonna' pass away too
I don't understand everything you've planned
But I don't really have to know
'Cause You're giving me a joy that's filling my heart when I learn to let go
[Chorus]
