- By Faith Betsy Carter 4:26
I love the book of Hebrews. Chapter 11 is incredible! The Lord inspired this song and eventually the complete musical “By Faith”. We must learn to walk by faith. This song encourages me through the example of those brave, faithful souls listed in Hebrews. This song as well as the musical has been used to strengthen the hearers’ faith, and I’m so grateful to God. We can come through the most impossible-seeming circumstances through faith in Jesus!
LYRICS:
Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses
Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses…
By faith we’ll come through the impossible
We can do all things through Christ…
Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses
Heroes of the land
Though scourged and tortured,
Slain, afflicted, tried on every hand
They would not be moved by the
Violence of their day
They were strong in battle
Filled with courage
Righteous by their faith
By faith…
By faith God spoke the Word
And the worlds were framed
By faith Noah built an ark
Though it had never rained
By faith father Abraham
Offered up his son
By faith Isaac blessed the twins
Concerning things to come
By faith Moses chose to live
Among the poor enslaved
By faith Jesus, called the Christ
Rose from the grave
By faith the hundred twenty prayed
Until the power fell
By faith Paul and Silas sang
Though in a prison cell
By faith John saw the holy city
Shining with the Son
By faith this church triumphant
Will rise to overcome
By faith we’ll come through the impossible
We can do all things through Christ…
Through Christ; we can do all things
Through Christ; through Christ
