    This is one I wrote a while ago. I haven’t revised it in a while, so if anyone see anything that could be improved, feel free to comment! Enjoy!

    Faith

    We wander the dark valley of our doubt
    Insisting that security is better than faith
    And we allow the fears to follow us about
    We falter and fall ’cause we’ve lost strength

    Lord Jesus abides within His children
    And He calls us to courage; not to cowardliness.
    If we would just forget all our fears, how we’d change then!
    We’ll try and would see what faith can do

    Faith perceives all things invisible
    Faith believes all things incredible
    Faith receives all things impossible
    To attain to a heaven, unimaginable

    Help our fainting hearts to trust in You,
    To walk out on the water with the Lord of wild waves-
    To soar above on eagles wings and live, brave and true-
    Always clinging close beside our Lord.

    Faith removes the mightiest mountains
    Faith casts down all the tallest giants
    Faith closes jaws of fiercest lions
    To attain to a crown, incorruptible

    Faith walks out of the fiery furnace
    Faith endures the hostile wilderness
    Faith braves unbidden the king’s palace
    To attain to a prize, unreachable.

    Faith recants not at stripes and scourging
    Faith falters never at stones and burning
    Faith triumphs o’er the grave and dying
    To attain to a life, unimaginable
