I had a Bible full of pictures
With the corners worn away
I carried it like treasure
Every Sunday school day
I knew the stories cover to cover
Had the scenes inside my head
But when I couldn’t find the verses
I heard their laughs instead

I was twelve and trying to fit in
Where everything felt plain
In a church defined by money
While I disappeared in shame
They laughed at my Bible
Like the message wasn’t the same
And the book that used to hold me
Started feeling hard to claim

I thought the message was holy
No matter what the pages wore
But they made me feel foolish
For the book I loved before
If this was meant to bring me closer
Why did it push me away?

I lost my faith
Somewhere in the shame
Somewhere in the voices
Speaking for Your name
I lost my place
I lost the will to pray
But I never stopped believing
I never lost You along the way
I lost my faith
But I never lost You
I lost my faith
But I never lost my way

I saw the Sunday hands go up
Then come down throwing stones
Heard them preach an open door
Then lock it like their home
I learned to hide my questions
I learned to play along
Still believed someone was up there
Just not the God they got wrong

I lost my faith
Somewhere in the shame
Somewhere in the voices
Speaking for Your name
I lost my place
I lost the will to pray
But I never stopped believing
I never lost You along the way
I lost my faith
But I never lost You
I lost my faith
But I never lost my way

Maybe I lost the guilt
Maybe I lost the chains
Maybe I lost the fear
They wrapped around Your name
Maybe I lost my faith
But I never lost my way

I lost my faith
Somewhere in the shame
Somewhere in the voices
Speaking for Your name
I lost my place
I lost the will to pray
But I never stopped believing
I never lost You along the way
I lost my faith
But I never lost You
I lost my faith
But I never lost my way
