When a desert dweller built his God a boat, it took a faith.
When on water stepped a fellow,
Knowing he could float, it took a faith.
Oh, when a pint-size lad took a giant of a man,
And all he had was a slingshot in his hand
When walls tumble down at a trumpet blast
It took more than a wish that it would come to that.

CHORUS
It took a faith (It took a faith)
It took a stand (a stand)
It took a firm belief in a supernatural plan.
It a hope (hope)
It took a Dad (a Dad)
It took a mighty God and an urban prayer.
No trick, no fluke, no mistake (no mistake)
Just faith.

When you first receive what God has done for you, it took a faith.
Just a mustard seed, but just the same it's true
It took a faith (it took a faith).
So when the water's deep and the storm is great (The storm is great)
When giants keep your strength away (You've got no strength)
When life tumbles down upon your feet
Just recall what it took when you first believed.

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh-Whoa-oh, yeah, something so untamable
It's what was off explainable.
And so easily explainable
Cause for every great work that has ever been done

REPEAT CHORUS

Just faith.
Fai-ai-ai-aith!
It took a faith, it took a hope.
Gotta have faith!
Fai-ai-ai-aith!
They took a stand, they took a giant, yeah, yeah!
It's not a trick, it's not a fluke, it's no mistake.
Fai-ai-ai-aith!
It took a firm belief in a supernatural plan.
