I Found Faith Lyrics

I Found Faith
Written by A.J. Croce,
(c) 1993 Croce Publishing (ASCAP)
I found faith in the pouring rain
I found faith in a sweet refrain
I found faith in the sermoneer
Until assured I could persevere
I found the Lord when I could not see
Or could it be that the Lord found me
(Chorus)
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don’t take me, I ain’t ready to go
When I’m ready I will let you know
But I ain’t hanging out in limbo
I found faith where I found no courage
I found myself where I found no faith
So strange that I believe as soon as I’m in need
And don’t know what to do
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don’t take me, I ain’t ready to go
When I’m ready I will let you know
But I ain’t hanging out in limbo
I found faith where I found no religion
I found the Lord in a selfish prayer
In the waiting room for purgatory
The martyrs claim we’re bound for glory
That’s me and you
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don’t take me, I ain’t ready to go
When I’m ready I will let you know
But I ain’t hanging out in limbo

I found faith in the pouring rain
I found faith in a sweet refrain
I found faith in the sermoneer
Until assured I could persevere
I found the Lord when I could not see
Or could it be that the Lord found me
(Chorus)
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don’t take me, I ain’t ready to go
When I’m ready I will let you know
But I ain’t hanging out in limbo
I found faith where I found no courage
I found myself where I found no faith
So strange that I believe as soon as I’m in need
And don’t know what to do
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don’t take me, I ain’t ready to go
When I’m ready I will let you know
But I ain’t hanging out in limbo
I found faith where I found no religion
I found the Lord in a selfish prayer
In the waiting room for purgatory
The martyrs claim we’re bound for glory
That’s me and you
Mother Mary, Father Joe
Please don’t take me, I ain’t ready to go
When I’m ready I will let you know
But I ain’t hanging out in limbo

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
