The music video for this song is currently in production and will be released on our YouTube channel in the coming weeks.
This song was born from a simple and uncomfortable observation, real faith almost never looks the way it is presented. It is not lived in constant emotional highs, nor in immediate answers, but in quiet continuity, when God seems silent, when nothing resolves, when the night stretches on.
The choice of a mixed choir supported by a wide pipe organ and a steady pulse is not aesthetic, it is symbolic. The choir represents the visible Church, the community, tradition, but also the collective voice of all those who believed before us. In contrast, the lyrics describe a solitary walk, stripped down, without signs, without confirmation, without spectacular emotion. That tension is intentional.
The verses describe a stripped faith. Praying without feeling, hoping without seeing, continuing without immediate reward. This is not a heroic struggle, but a discreet perseverance. Faith is never presented here as intellectual certainty or inner comfort, but as a repeated decision, sometimes painful.
The chorus is central, almost liturgical. The expression “Act of Faith” is not poetic imagery, it is a precise theological term. A voluntary act, made even when everything inside hesitates. Repeating “This is my Act of Faith in Jesus” is a choice being made, not an emotional state being described. It is a declaration, not a triumphant claim.
Musically, the gradual rise of the choir and organ reflects this idea. Strength does not come from a sudden miracle, but from accumulation, from endurance over time. The slow but constant tempo evokes a walk, not an escape, not an instant victory.
The bridge carries the core of the message. The silence there is almost burning. It does not deny pain, it names it. But at the center of that silence remains something minimal and sufficient, the name of Jesus. Nothing more. Nothing less. The song affirms that this can be enough, even when everything else disappears.
The final choral swell is not a full emotional release. It remains solemn, grave, almost restrained. Faith is not rewarded with clear resolution, but with inner stability. The choice to walk remains, without any promise of ease.
This song was not written to reassure, nor to beautify faith. It was written for those who keep going when they no longer have any visible reason to do so. For those whose faith does not shout, but holds. For those whose only victory is staying upright, one more day.
That is the Act of Faith.
I prayed through nights, the stars were gone,
No voice to guide, I walked alone.
Each word I spoke fell into stone,
But still I hoped, though hope was gone.
Faith’s not born in golden days,
It grows through dark and silent ways.
This is my Act of Faith in Jesus,
When all the world is set to tease us.
I’ll stand my ground though skies are gray,
And trust His heart will show the way.
The easy road, it calls my name,
It shines with gold, but ends in shame.
The narrow path cuts deep and true,
It hurts but leads my soul to You.
No voice, no sign, no proof to see,
Just faith that burns inside of me.
This is my Act of Faith in Jesus,
When all the noise tries to deceive us.
I’ll walk alone, but not in vain,
Through silent loss and steady pain.
The silence burns, but still I breathe,
A hidden fire I can’t conceive.
If all I have is just His name,
Then that alone will light the flame.
This is my Act of Faith in Jesus,
When every fear still tries to seize us.
The harder road is mine to take,
I walk by faith, not by mistake.
And when the night won’t go away,
I’ll keep the faith, come what may.
This is my Act of Faith in Jesus.
