This week’s featured song story comes to us from Laura Story. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “Give You Faith,” a song about the legacy she wants to leave her children.
“The most important thing that we could possibly give our children is to not just tell them about the faith that we have but to live out that faith as a family. Sometimes that means not giving them everything they want but showing them that the most important thing in my life isn’t even them—it’s actually my faith in Jesus Christ—and just point them to Jesus.” – Laura Story

“Give You Faith” Lyrics
I see your tiny face
Your fingers wrapped in mine
And I wonder how I’ll raise
This precious gift of life
I’d give you all my money
But you can’t buy what you need
I’d show you all the world
But more than anything
I wanna give you faith
I wanna leave you hope
That you would know a love that never lets you go
More than wisdom or wealth,
More than happiness or health,
May you say I gave you faith
I’m gonna let you down
I’m gonna disappoint
But there’s a love I found
That’s sturdy in the storm
The very God who formed you
Gives grace enough for us
And though I won’t be perfect
I’ll teach you to trust
Oh, and there will come a day when you question everything
When the very ground beneath you starts to shake
And all I can offer is a prayer from far away
To the One who’s never left you…
He will give you faith
He’ll give you hope
He’ll be the love that will never let you go
More than wisdom and wealth
More than happiness and health
May you say, He gave you faith
