Mary J Blige – Never Gonna Break My Faith (With Aretha Franklin) lyrics

(feat. The Harlem Boys Choir)

[Verse 1]
My Lord
I have read this book so many times
But nowhere can i find the page
that change what i experience today

[? Grace:]
Now i Know that life is ment to be hard
thats how I learn to appreciate my God
Though my courage made me try
I can tell you i won't hide
Because the footprints show you are by my side.

[Chorus]

You can lie to a child with a smilin' face
Tell me that color aint about race
You can cast the first stones you can break my bones
But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith

Faith and Hope aint yours to give
Truth and Liberty are mine to Live
You can steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith

[Verse 2:]
My Lord
Won't you help them to understand
that when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well they never really Won because all they've really done
is set the Soul Free where it's supposed to be

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When his will, His will, will be done
