Leap of Faith
Words and Music by Sue Riley ©2004 (BMI)

When Columbus sailed over the ocean
He didn’t know what he would find
With uncertainty looming before him
And the life he knew falling behind
Moving forward through uncharted water
With only his heart as his guide
One thing he knew for certain
What he needed was a leap of faith
A leap of faith, a leap of faith, I need a leap of faith.

Well, you know that I have been wandering
Yes, sometimes my vision has dimmed
And that always gets me to wondering
If I’m doing the best that I can
But I know when I start to falter
You’ll give me the strength to go on
Though I might waver, I’m certain of this
What I’m needing is a leap of faith

I need a leap of faith, a leap of faith, I need a leap of faith.

I need faith to believe, in the wisdom of change
As I follow in trust, when my ways are not enough
I need a leap of faith, a leap of faith I need a leap of faith
I need a leap of faith, leap of faith, I need a leap of faith

Like Columbus, I am always exploring
But the new world isn’t easy to find
It’s hard to let go of the comfort
In the things I would be leaving behind
But, one day I know I’ll be ready
To cast off these lines and set sail
The first step I need to consider
Is a big one, it’s a leap of faith
A leap of faith, a leap of faith, I need a leap of faith.
Leap of faith, leap of faith, I need a leap of faith
