#1 Pop hit for George Michael in 1987.
Songwriter:
George Michael
J's Journal:
There are some interesting vocal effects on this song, but it really sounds like I'm really not paying attention at all to the background guitar. That's because I sang my parts before the guitar was there! I have some problems with rhythm, but I'm not that BAD! We had a guide track with the original on it, and I sang to that. The guitar was added later.
We didn't have digital tracks or any fancy computers or experience back then. In fact, there was a break later in the song in which we needed to fill up empty space, and Karl encouraged me to fill in the blanks with an ad lib and that's why I sang the "What does he mean, I think he means that we gotta have, gotta, gotta have faith!" line.
This song has some clumsy parts, but I still like it. Karl and I have done this song a couple of times (but only a couple) in the past seven years when there was a difficulty with drums and we needed a drumless song to buy time on stage.
I love the scripture verses in this song, especially Romans 8:16, about how the Spirit of Christ testifies to us that we are the children of God, and that's another reason we know we've been born again.

Faith Pt. 2
Parody of "Faith" by George Michael
(Hebrews 11, Romans 8:16)
Well, I guess it would be nice
If I could touch and see it
You know, I must believe in
A lot of things I can't see
But the Spirit of Christ
He testifies inside of me
That I'm a child of God, you see
That's Romans 8:16
Before you tell me
That I've gone crazy
Before you say there's no way to be sure
I've got to tell you
This information
There's one way to heaven
And I'll show you the door
First you gotta have faith
You gotta have faith
You gotta have faith, faith, faith
Faith! Faith! Faith!
Baby!
Some of the things that I have seen
I just plain wouldn't have believed
From anyone else
Maybe
I understand why you can doubt
The words a-comin' from my mouth
Until you see it yourself
You know, but Hebrews 11 says
Faith is something we hope will happen
It's evidence of things that can't be seen
And Romans 5:5 says hope like that will
Not disappoint us
And I know just what he means
He means we gotta have faith
We gotta have faith
You gotta have faith, faith, faith
Faith! Faith! Faith!
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not
see.
