michael card – one faith lyrics
by faith one was commended
for the sacrifice he made
another out of holy fear
built an ark the world to save
another left his homeland
and as a stranger he’d reside
but none received the promise then
and so, in faith, they died.
others conquered kingdoms
quenched the fury of the flames
some made strong in battle
some were raised to life again
but many more were martyred
midst the crowds loud clamoring
by faith they would not bow the knee
nor kiss the emperor’s ring
chorus:
faith understands and offers
it -ssures and calms our fears
it can shut the mouths of lions
and make sense of scars and tears
we persevere in hope
and with conscience clean and clear
we walk this fallen wilderness
with salvation’s pioneer
being sure of what we hope for
seeing what is yet unseen
a universe from nothingness
new life where none had been
the known made from unknowable
and hope for the comfortless
who hear and hold on firmly to
the faith that they possess
so fix your eyes upon the champion
as you seek to run the race
understanding that he cheers you on
as you long for his embrace
so hold on and do not grow weary
of the faith that you profess
remembering that you are ringed around
by this cloud of witnesses
chorus
