Faith From A Farmer

He wakes up before the sun

And drinks his coffee black as the sky

And buttons up his shirt

Ballcap with yesterday's dirt

Ain't even dry

His family's owned that farm since his daddy was born

But he knows that it only takes one storm

So, he prays for the rain

And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family

He knows you reap what you sow

And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting

Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder

You can learn a lot about faith from a farmer

Every penny made he spends just to make it back to spring

And last year the crops did good, but when April comes around don't mean a thing

'Cause there's always something left for him to do

While he tries to be a good husband and father too

So, he prays for the rain

And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family

He knows you reap what you sow

And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting

Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder

You can learn a lot about faith from a farmer

Only life he'd ever chose

'Cause he feels closest to God

Doin' what He asked him to do

While he prays for the rain

And asks the Lord for just enough to feed his family

He knows you reap what you sow

And so, he drives the tractor until her supper's waiting

Because he knows you gotta work hard, but pray even harder

He just wants to hand down a good life to his son and daughter

Yeah, you can learn a lot about faith from a farmer
