Real to Me

Things I've heard a thousand times Since I could understand Convictions written on my heart Have made me who I am It's all I've ever known But I had to find some answers of my own All the words we say All the prayers we pray Truths that I've been longing to believe So many sacred things The songs of faith we sing Teachings I have pondered carefully It wasn't 'till I finally Got down on my knees That it all became real to me I've always tried to do my best To follow what is right I've leaned on those who say they know And lived on borrowed light I reached out for his hand 'Cause I had to find the answers for myself All the words we say All the prayers we pray Truths that I've been longing to believe So many sacred things The songs of faith we sing Teachings I have pondered carefully It wasn't 'till I finally Got down on my knees That it all became real to me My humble prayers were answered He took away my doubt All of the things I'd hope someday I'd feel Now they're real All the words I say All the prayers I pray Truths that I've been longing to believe So many sacred things The songs of faith they sing Teachings I have pondered carefully I found the faith to finally Get down on my knees Now it's real It's real Now it's all become real to me
