Woke up this morning with a shout in my soul
Sun still rising, but my heart’s on a roll
Trouble tried to knock me off my lane
But grace showed up and broke them chain

Ain’t gotta see it, I still believe
God done worked that thing for me
Joy in my step (oh, oh), peace in my mind
I got faith, and I’m doing just fine
Chorus
I got faith (got faith, can’t nobody take it)
(Storms may come, but I still praise Him)
Every morning, gonna have to move

Oh, I got faith (yeah, I got faith)
Yeah, I got faith (yeah, I got faith)

Meaning & Inspiration
“I Got Faith” presents faith as steady confidence in God when visible circumstances remain difficult. Bills, fear, trouble, and storms are acknowledged rather than minimized, but they do not receive the final word. The repeated confession of faith is joined to joy, peace, praise, and the assurance that grace has sustained the singer through every fall. Its call-and-response language gives that confession a communal gospel energy without making faith depend on a trouble-free life.
The question “If God be for me, who can stand?” closely reflects Romans 8:31, while the resolve to believe without seeing recalls the biblical description of faith as confidence in what is hoped for. The song also treats praise as an answer to adversity: the storm may arrive, yet worship continues. By locating favor and joy in the Savior, the closing lines keep the source of confidence clear. Victory here is not self-made certainty, but trust in God’s presence, help, and enduring goodness.
