Song Lyrics ~ Flames of Faith ~ A Path Awake
(Verse 1)
Faith is not a gentle breeze,
It roars like thunder through the trees.
Saint Francis walks, his feet so bare,
Cobblestones cold, the crisp night air.
His voice rises, trembling, bold,
A Gospel truth that shakes the old.
He touches the leper, hands unafraid,
In love’s rebellion, his path is laid.
(Chorus)
Oh, faith, the fire that burns inside,
It shatters walls, it turns the tide.
Step beyond comfort, embrace the flame,
For truth and love, no fear, no shame.
(Verse 2)
Pope Francis stands where divides run deep,
A fractured Church, where shadows creep.
His words cut through the stillness wide,
Corruption, clericalism cast aside.
He asks in silence, with weighty breath,
“What must I risk to defy death?”
To bring the Gospel to life again,
With courage unyielding, through love’s refrain.
(Chorus)
Oh, faith, the fire that burns inside,
It shatters walls, it turns the tide.
Step beyond comfort, embrace the flame,
For truth and love, no fear, no shame.
(Bridge)
Barefoot Francis, a call that offends,
A touch that heals, where fear transcends.
Pope Francis answers, tradition shakes,
Through disruption, a heart awakes.
Together they ask, together they plead,
For justice, for love, for hearts that bleed.
Faith unmasks the truths we hide,
Faith ignites, no room for pride.
(Verse 3)
Faith is no refuge, no place to stay,
It tears the old and clears the way.
For Francis, the leper becomes divine,
For Francis, love shatters time.
Pope Francis walks through halls of stone,
With voices calling, “You’re not alone.”
His sacrifice, a quiet decree,
“What price must I pay to set souls free?”
(Chorus)
Oh, faith, the fire that burns inside,
It shatters walls, it turns the tide.
Step beyond comfort, embrace the flame,
For truth and love, no fear, no shame.
(Outro)
Saint Francis walks through icy streets,
With every step, the Gospel beats.
Pope Francis speaks with fire and grace,
The call to love etched on his face.
Faith disturbs, it breaks, it binds,
It pushes forward, heals and blinds.
Oh, the storm that faith will make,
A path of love, a life awake.
