Elevation Worship - Give Me Faith Lyrics
Lyrics
I need You to soften my heart
And break me apart
I need You to open my eyes
And see that You're shaping my life
And all I am
I surrender
Give me faith to trust what You say
That You're good, and Your love is great
I'm broken inside, I give You my life
I need you to soften my heart
And break me apart
I need you to pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me
All I am, I surrender
'Cause I may be weak
But Your spirit strong in me
My flesh may fail
My God you never will
I may be weak
But Your spirit strong in me
My flesh may fail
My God you never will

Meaning & Inspiration
Elevation Worship's "Give Me Faith," released in its acoustic iteration on May 29, 2017, is a profound cry for unwavering belief, a raw and relatable expression of our innate human need for something more substantial than fleeting emotions or circumstantial evidence. The song doesn't shy away from the vulnerability of doubt; instead, it leans into it, presenting a sincere plea to a God who is the anchor in the storm. This isn't about wanting faith as a pleasant feeling, but as an active force, a divine impartation that allows us to stand firm when the ground beneath us feels unstable. The core message resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of faith as not merely intellectual assent, but as the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It speaks to the disciples' own request in Luke 17:5, "Increase our faith," a prayer born from the recognition that their own strength of belief was insufficient for the magnitude of God's calling. "Give Me Faith" is, in essence, a modern-day echo of that ancient plea, acknowledging that faith itself is a gift from above, a divine infusion that empowers us to perceive the unseen realities of God’s kingdom. It’s a powerful reminder that true faith doesn't negate the presence of challenges, but rather provides the perspective to navigate them, knowing that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The simplicity of the acoustic arrangement amplifies this directness, stripping away any pretense and allowing the raw sincerity of the prayer to shine through, inviting listeners to join in this essential petition for a faith that moves mountains and transforms lives.
