IT’S YOUR FAITH (Janis Kelly ©2020) I’ve been down about as far as I could go Been as lost as I could be Trapped inside a wave of pain and suffering Couldn’t find my way to free Till the day I gave up swimming ‘gainst the tide And I got down on my knees Prayed for guidance, grace to reach the other shore This is what you said to me, “It’s your faith that sees you through To the light inside of you To my love that shines In you!” Just like Jonah in the belly of the whale Just like Job’s adversity Just Moses wandering through the wilderness Crying, “Lord, where can you be?” You might think your burden’s much too great to bear No solution that you can see In the silence there’s a still, small voice saying, “I am here with thee!” It’s your faith that sees you through To the light inside of you To my love that shines In you! Keep the faith, for one more day Hold onto your hope that love will find a way Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier Ooh, child, things’ll get brighter Right now, right now, right now, right now ‘Cause it’s your faith that sees you through To the light inside of you To my love that shines It’s your faith that sees you through To the light inside of you To my love that shines In you!

BE SO RADIANT (Janis Kelly © 2015) The universe is having its way with me Providing nips & tucks I swear I never thought I'd need My sign outside says, “Closed for maintenance” But when we're through with her you won't believe the difference-- Just you wait and see, yeah! Just you wait and see! I’m fallin' down! I'm on the ground! But when I rise up from these ashes once again Gonna be so radiant! Gonna be so radiant! Sometimes we miss life's lessons 'til they start to roar Or come delivered by a friendly, cosmic two-by-four I always prayed that I could be exempt “Help me grow, but let's just keep things oh-so-pleasant ‘Cause that'll work for me, yeah! That'll work for me!” I’m fallin' down! I'm on the ground! But when I rise up from these ashes once again Gonna be so radiant! Gonna be so radiant! Never thought I'd find a silver lining in such pain Never thought I'd lose so much but somehow feel I'd gained Never thought that gratitude would be all that remained! I start each day now in amazement With a zest for life so strong that I can almost taste it I'm breaking through my heart's protection Dissolving barriers and blocks to my soul’s connection-- I'm on my way to free, yeah! On my way to free! I’m fallin' down! I'm on the ground! But when I rise up from these ashes once again Gonna be so radiant! I’m fallin' down! I'm on the ground! But when I rise up from these ashes once again Gonna be so radiant! Gonna be so radiant! ‘Hundred and one percent!
