Faith Enough

The ice is thin enough for walkin’
The rope is worn enough to climb
My throat is dry enough for talkin’
The world is crumblin’ but I know why
The world is crumblin’ but I know why

The storm is wild enough for sailing
The bridge is weak enough to cross
This body frail enough for fighting
I’m home enough to know I’m lost
I’m home enough to know I’m lost

It’s just enough to be strong
In the broken places,
In the broken places
It’s just enough to be strong
Should the world rely on faith tonight.

The land unfit enough for planting
Barren enough to conceive
Poor enough to gain the treasure
Enough a cynic to believe
Enough a cynic to believe

Confused enough to know direction
The sun eclipsed enough to shine
Be still enough to finally tremble
And see enough to know I’m blind
And see enough to know I’m blind

It’s just enough to be strong
In the broken places
In the broken places
It’s just enough to be strong
Should the world rely on faith tonight.
Lyrics by Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell, Stephen Mason, and Matt Odmark
of the musical group
Jars of Clay
