lyrics

*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
