Gotta Have Faith by Emma Nissen

5 years ago I had to drop out of college because of an issue with both vocal cords. My degree was vocal performance so you can imagine my devastation. Despite the bad news, I remember walking away from the hospital room with this overwhelming warmth of the spirit that seemed to say... you just gotta have faith. A little over a year later I had just arrived to Sweden (where I would be serving a full time church mission) when the pandemic began. After hearing the news, despite the outer turmoil I felt, once again the familiar peace and hope of the spirit washes over me and I voiced aloud..."we just gotta have faith". a groove started in my foot. "faith in the Lord". somewhere in my head a bass started playing and I walked over to the piano and sat down to write my first song ever and the song that began it all...Gotta Have Faith.
I hope this song inspires you and get stuck in your head like it does mine at the most opportune times and reminds you that TRULY these trying times will help us and we will be stronger than before… we just gotta have faith.

    Coming from an estranged preachers daughter, my family doesn’t communicate much unless over Facebook or about god. sent this song to both of my parents this morning overjoyed knowing they’d love it. This is so special. Worship music really brings you closer.

    Please keep my wife in your prayers. She has myotonic muscular dystrophy. Her mobility and ability to walk has regressed over the past few years. Doctors cannot heal or cure her, but I know God can and will. Please make this a daily prayer request for her. It is hard, some days, to stay positive and to not worry about her situation. I rely on the love of God and the prayers of others to get me through. God Bless and thank you! #CureMyotonicMuscularDystrophy

I gotta have faith, faith in the Lord That the sun will rise tomorrow and I'll be stronger than before I gotta have faith, faith in the Lord That these trying times will help me and I can reap my reward I look around and begin to count my blessings One by one and I see what God has done My heart is whole and I don't need to keep on guessing I am a child of God and after all is said and done But I gotta have faith, (faith) faith in the Lord (faith in the Lord) That the sun will rise tomorrow and I'll be stronger than before I gotta have faith, (faith) faith in the Lord (faith in the Lord) That these trying times will help me and I can reap my reward Oh and I know, that my saviours walking with me By my side, in my heart and in my mind He's the light of my life that I need to survive (He's the light of my life I need to survive) And I know that I am because of Him So I'm gonna have faith, faith in the Lord And the sun will rise tomorrow and I'll be - stronger than before I'm gonna have faith, (faith) faith in the Lord (faith in the Lord) That these trying (faith) times will help me (Faith in the Lord) and I can reap my reward I gotta have - I gotta, gotta, (faith) gotta, gotta have faith (Faith in the Lord) in the Lord, ooh And the sun will (faith) rise tomorrow (Faith in the Lord) and I'll be stronger than before I gotta (faith) have faith, faith in the Lord (faith in the Lord) (Faith, faith in the Lord) I need my reward I gotta have faith (faith)

Keep doing what you are doing and I will keep smiling and dancing to it! If you ever wrote a joyful song filled with love that wasn't necessarily about God, I would 100% walk down the aisle to it, or have my first dance to it. Thanks for being you!

    Matthew 21:21-22 New Living Translation 21 Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. 22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”
