Riley Clemmons' song 'This Faith Runs Deep' is a contemporary Christian anthem about the depth and resilience of personal faith. The lyrics compare faith to familiar, grounding things like a grandmother's voice or a favorite song, emphasizing that it is rooted in the believer's very being. The song speaks of finding stability in God during shaky times, the transformative experience of baptism, and the assurance of grace. It references the empty grave, pointing to the resurrection, and expresses confidence that faith will endure through any circumstance.

Like Grandma's voice will always sound like home
Like a preacher on Sunday talking 'bout the Holy Ghost
Like your favorite song and singing every word out loud
Lord knows there ain't no doubt
This faith runs deep
Down in my bones
And when I'm shaken
It steadies my soul
So come what may
I'll fix my eyes
On the one who's got His eyes on me
'Cause this faith runs deep
This faith runs deep
Like war into peace or a slate wiped clean
I went down in the water, and it changed everything
My prayers go up and His grace comes down
Lord knows there ain't no doubt
This faith runs deep
Down in my bones
And when I'm shaken
It steadies my soul
So come what may
I'll fix my eyes
On the one who's got His eyes on me
'Cause this faith runs deep
This faith runs deep
Deep like the Mississippi
Deep like love He gives me
These roots are all I need
This faith runs deep
Deep like when momma prays
Deep like that empty grave
Amen in Jesus' name
This faith runs deep
Down in my bones
And when I'm shaken
It steadies my soul
So come what may
I'll fix my eyes
On the one who's got His eyes on me
'Cause this faith runs deep
This faith runs deep
This faith runs deep
This faith runs deep
