letra de by faith (11:1-40) - psallos

Loading...

by faith the son of adam gave
from his earthen table
a better gift than cain
who was, it seems, not able
then came the enoch lad
he lived his life for god
and god said, “pack your bags”:
he was there, then he was not

when noah built the boat
he hoped that it would float
god had told him so
man and beast to save
water drawing nigh
he built the vessel high
to keep his family dry—
he lived and loved the lord by faith

one, two, three, four, five
all of these believed by faith and then thеy died
before thеy did receive the promises of god

by faith when abe was called
to voyage far away
he tarried not nor dawdled
instead he did obey
and traveled to a land
where foreign men did roam
and thus said abraham:
“this place will be my home.”
though she was too old
sarah, she was told
“a baby you will hold
a child you will embrace.”
sarah laughed at first
but god he kept his word
at the joyous birth
sarah loved the lord by faith

one, two, three, four, five
all of these believed by faith and then they died
before they did receive the promises of god

by faith then abraham
offered up his son
but god gave him a ram
and a hearty job-well-done
so the son lived on
when he wasn’t wrestling
he raised his own two sons
he gave them both a blessing

jacob gray and old
a blessing of his own
he graciously bestowed
on joseph’s sons one day
joseph thusly spoke
“when israel goes home
take along my bones”—
they lived and loved the lord by faith
one, two, three, four, five
all of these believed by faith and then they died
before they did receive the promises of god

by faith when moses led
the jews from slavery
they bravely pushed ahead
and entered through the sea
marched around the town
of jericho one week
the walls came tumblin’ down
o what a sight to see!

despite her occupation
and her reputation
rahab gave salvation—
the israelites were safe
when the jewish spies
needed a place hide
she hid them way up high—
we’re told she served the lord by faith

one, two, three, four, five
all of these believed by faith and then they died
before they did receive the promises of god
and so much more to say
but time would not allow
to sing the list of saints
from gideon till now:
folks who risked their lives
and suffered in their days
enduring for the prize—
the promise never came

they saw them from afar
greeted them like stars
tasted them in part
but never known in whole
yet they did embrace
the call to live by faith
strangers in this place—
a better land will be their home

one, two, three, four, five
all of these believed by faith and then they died
before they did receive the promises of god

but you who have believed in christ
by faith you have received in life
the promises of god

so run, run!
