The personal faith of GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney may be a topic of discussion in the ongoing campaign -- but he may have been one-upped today by his closest challenger for the nomination.

Over the weekend, charges of sexual harassment were leveled at Herman Cain during his tenure as head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. He denied the accusations during a speech Monday at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.

But at the end of his talk he was asked about his faith -- and responded by singing to the press gallery a song he says allows him to share his Christian testimony (view video to the right).

The words of the song, as Cain sang them, were:
Amazing grace will always be my song of praise, For it was grace that brought me liberty. I'll never know why Jesus came to love me so
He looked beyond all my faults and saw my needs.
The song "He Looked Beyond My Faults" was written by the late gospel singer and songwriter Dottie Rambo. The chorus, which Cain did not sing, continues:
I shall forever lift mine eyes to Calvary, To view the cross, where Jesus died for me. How marvelous, His grace that caught my falling soul.
He looked beyond my faults and saw my need.
Cain is a longtime member and an associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta, which was founded by freed slaves and now claims 14,000 members.
