Lyrics
I'm reaching for the prize
I'm giving everything
I give my life for this
It's what I live for
Nothing will keep me from
All that You have for me
You hold my head up high
I live for You
Bridge:
Greater is He that's living in me
Than he that is in the world
Chorus:
Faith I can move the mountain
I can do all things through Christ
I know
Faith standing and believing
I can do all things through Christ
Who strengthens me

Meaning & Inspiration
“Faith” expresses active confidence in Christ through the language of pursuit, perseverance, and dependence. The opening verse describes a life directed toward a prize, with every competing obstacle placed beneath devotion to God. Its emphasis is energetic, but the source of confidence is not personal strength. The lyric repeatedly locates ability in Christ and in the presence of God within the believer.
The bridge closely echoes 1 John 4:4 by declaring that the One who lives in the believer is greater than the one in the world. The chorus then brings together Jesus’ teaching about faith and Paul’s statement about strength through Christ. In that setting, moving a mountain serves as an image of trust that refuses to surrender to opposition. The song’s strongest idea is the union of conviction and reliance: faith stands and believes, while Christ supplies the strength. Its language turns biblical affirmations into a direct confession of courage, endurance, and wholehearted commitment to God.
