faith is not something you wear on sunday

I wrote a new song last week, wanted to share it with you.  Blessings!


(v1) I used to think that I, didn’t have to try I could silently observe, privately preserve my Faith inside my mind, separate from my life I was dead while still alive, and I didn’t even mind...
(ch1) Faith is not something, you wear on Sunday It is more than just a book upon your shelf Faith is not something, you wear on Sunday

(end) Faith is not something, you wear on Sunday.
