Real to Me

Things I've heard a thousand times
 Since I could understand
 Convictions written on my heart
 Have made me who I am
 It's all I've ever known
 But I had to find some answers of my own
 All the words we say
 All the prayers we pray
 Truths that I've been longing to believe
 So many sacred things
 The songs of faith we sing
 Teachings I have pondered carefully
 It wasn't 'till I finally
 Got down on my knees
 That it all became real to me
 I've always tried to do my best
 To follow what is right
 I've leaned on those who say they know
 And lived on borrowed light
 I reached out for his hand
 'Cause I had to find the answers for myself
 All the words we say
 All the prayers we pray
 Truths that I've been longing to believe
 So many sacred things
 The songs of faith we sing
 Teachings I have pondered carefully
 It wasn't 'till I finally
 Got down on my knees
 That it all became real to me
 My humble prayers were answered
 He took away my doubt
 All of the things I'd hope someday I'd feel
 Now they're real
 All the words I say
 All the prayers I pray
 Truths that I've been longing to believe
 So many sacred things
 The songs of faith they sing
 Teachings I have pondered carefully
 I found the faith to finally
 Get down on my knees
 Now it's real
 It's real
 Now it's all become real to me
