From Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Praising his earthly work ethic
Man seeking Father’s lasting grace
Totally missing Gospel’s heart
By faith alone, shall love embrace
Preparing for Heaven’s homeland
Mercy of Christ walking ahead
Righteousness, marking worldly path
By faith alone, waits daily bread
Tasting God’s eternal goodness
Earthly trials, evil’s dark hand
Lord’s strength overcomes man’s weakness
By faith alone, His grace commands
Seeking blessings for things hoped for
Filled with promises, where love dwells
Thirsty for Christ’s living water
By faith alone, salvation swells
From Hebrews 11:6: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.”
