Upon dry land at God's command
To preserve his family,
By faith Noah built a great ark,
For a flood God said he'd see.
Amidst the jeers and taunts of man,
He persistently maintained
A steadfast hope his home would float,
Then down from Heaven it rained.
By faith Abraham left his home,
For God had said, "Now, go.
I have a promised land for you,
And the way for you I'll show."
In complete abandonment
He then left at God's command.
By faith he saw what was to be,
And he claimed his promised land.
By faith Moses left luxury
And a promised life of ease,
There to suffer with God's people,
For his God he chose to please.
By faith he led God's children through
A parted uncrossable sea,
Guiding them through the wilderness
Where they a nation would be.
By faith the walls of Jericho
Crumbled unto the ground.
Like softened clay they fell that day
As God's army marched around.
The assurance of things hoped for,
The promise of things unseen;
Faith is trusting in God's Word
Knowing He'll intervene.
The miracle of Godly faith
Is given to all who claim
The power He avails to us
When we profess His Name.
