In the wake of the unquenchable fire, Architect of the universe
Who knows every heavenly body, sets them each on their whirling course
Glorify, praise the name
We give You honor as we proclaim
In the gaze of the Great I Am, in whose presence Moses babbled and shook
The God who scorned Saul’s pride and wrestled Jacob by the brook
Knows the paths leviathans take, sees the grazing doe and fawn
Hears the cries of a lonely child, as He pulls the earth to meet the dawn
Oh, mystery God of power and fame, why have You stooped to call my name?
Jesus, You and God are the very same
Yet You came among us when You wrapped on flesh
You have defined Your sheep by Your very Name
As the kingdom of the living among the dead
Oh, the mountain that was once on fire and encompassed by the darkness
No more this mountain, You’ve brought us to Zion
And You’ve given us Your righteousness
The church of Christ, and His righteousness
Thank You, Father, for this kingdom
We give our lives to praise Your name
Holy sons and holy daughters
We see them drawn as we proclaim

*By faith we know You made the world
By faith we know that Abel gave
The better sacrifice, but not because it was something better
By faith we know Enoch was taken
He walked with You and knew Your ways
You rewarded him for seeking You from belief in Your existence
By faith
By faith Noah could speak the truth
That You would send the great deluge
And though the world ignored his words, he trusted You to save him
By faith
But they all died in their faith
The promise they were strangers to we now know by name
Why can’t we live the same?
By faith
*By faith we know that Abraham
Was sent out from his native land
A stranger and a foreigner, living for a promised country
By faith
By faith, though Sarah couldn’t bear
A son, you’d promised them an heir
Despite their age, You made a way and gave them little Isaac
By faith
For sacrifice You told him to
Offer the son received from You
When Abraham still obeyed, You sent him a replacement
By faith
*By faith that promise was passed on
To Isaac, Jacob, Joseph’s sons
So future ones would know You and seek to be Your children
By faith
By faith we know his parents hid
Young Moses so that he could live
He floated down the Nile and was raised by the Egyptians
By faith
The one to set Your people free
He spread the blood of innocence and led them through the waters
By faith
*By faith we know so many who
Accomplished wondrous things in You
Though tortured and abandoned, they pursued the hope of promise
By faith
So let us fix our eyes on Jesus, author of our faith
Let us run with perseverance, He will lead the way
By faith

Spirit of God, myth of our time
Make yourself real to me
Put the life of the Son in my soul, heart, and mind
So that my eyes can see you
Lawyer of God, defender of truth
Erase my old law of sin
Embed in my life the power of Christ
From my death to His righteousness
The world is groaning for You
Though I am weak, you are showing me the truth
My only hope is You
Helper of promise, faithfully sent
Stir up in my soul to do
The work of the Father, prepared in advance
By walking in step with You
The world is groaning for You
Though I am weak, you are showing me the truth
That Christ is coming soon to make all things new
That's why we have You, so we can speak the truth
To those whose only hope is You
To those whose only hope is You
Our only hope is You
Spirit of God, here in this time
Make yourself known to me
Move in our church, speak through our lives
So that blind eyes may see You
