In my heart I've often been afraid, and I've walked away from the battles you've already won for me,
From the start, I trusted in your word, but something held me back,
I moved ahead, but only cautiously,
Then to my soul your voice came through: "What do you need, my son? I'll give it to you."
Oh, reckless faith is my plea,
God, give me the courage that it takes to believe,
When my heart is faint and the flesh is weak,
When the world says no, but the Spirit speaks,
While the others play it safe, give me reckless faith.
As I grow, I'm learning every day how to carry on when trials get the best of me,
For I know there is no other way to find your perfect will,
I'll trust in you completely,
You've made me strong, now I fight to win,
Where fear leaves off, my faith begins.
Oh, reckless faith is my plea,
God, give me the courage that it takes to believe,
When my heart is faint and the flesh is weak,
When the world says no, but the Spirit speaks,
While the others play it safe,
'Til I see you face to face, God, don't let me be afraid: give me reckless faith.
