How Fragile My Faith
How fragile my faith; how precarious my prayers;
How daring my doubt, following my footsteps
Just a breath in front of God
It's been so many years ago--I made a promise to the sky
Shaking my small fist at Him, I never needed so to cry
"You have never left me, never let me get away,
But I have never wanted you to hold me, 'til today."
How fragile my faith; how precarious my prayers;
How daring my doubt, following my footsteps
Just a breath in front of God
I had to take a drive out West, I had to get away from here
I had to see them face to face, the few I hold so dear
My sister, crying with me, as I wept on her back porch
I felt so far from God; she said, "You don't need to anymore."
Is this hand from heaven someone I can trust; or is it hurting me?
Does He hold me out to dangle over the flame,
Or hold me to His breast, like a child?
How fragile my faith; how precarious my prayers;
How daring my doubt, following my footsteps
Just a breath in front of God
How fragile my faith; how precarious my prayers;
I'm leaning on grace; the troubled waters of my heart
So need the calming breath of God, so need the calming breath of God.
How Fragile My Faith
Good things : Cool vocal effects, One of my favorites. I like the guitar licks and duo accompaniment. It fills out the harmonies. It has a Simon and Garfunkle sound with a solid Christian message. I actually like the original version better with the alternative edge but this works as well.
Things to work on : Maybe re-record along the original version. I think I just heard it that way intially and it stuck in my head. I think you can end the song better. Consider laying down a vocal harmony track offset from the melody line. I like the vocal variance as an effect but stills needs more to add the edge to the powerful words.
Grace and peace, Derek
