Substance of Faith

Through the substance of faith

Heavenly guidance is found

We know what to hope for

We feel the Spirit around

 

To the righteous, wisdom is obtained

By faith, inspired by God's Word

Not Cain's, but Abel's sacrifice explained

To the faithful who sought, God heard

Believe that He is

And there is a reward

For righteousness

Pray to Him... Seek Him

And heed His good Word

Through faith and trust we come to know

God- who He is and, for us, His plan

That through patience, His promises show

He strengthens us as we do what we can

The faith of the ancients centered on Christ

By faith they subdued kingdoms, 

Inspired righteousness 

and worked miracles

Trusting, as God's pilgrims

In a better place

A Heavenly place with Him

For a world more pure and clean

Enoch was caught up with Zion

Noah trusted in the unseen

In faith, and built the arc on dry land

By faith, when Abraham was tried

Offered up Isaac to be sacrificed

Only then to understand

That for all, God's own son would be crucified

By faith Moses knew right and wrong

And trusted God more than a pharaoh

He parted the seas high and strong

Knowing when God speaks, to follow

Many are the tortured who kept the faith

Who trusted in a greater reward

These are they the martyrs, unafraid

Who knew to keep their eyes Heavenward

Believe that He is

And there is a reward

For righteousness

Pray to Him... Seek Him

And heed His good Word

Hebrews 11

Ten years ago I made a comment to this video, never realizing someday a song would come of it. I wonder if using AI to do it is like not trusting in time and for someone to come forward who could turn all the poems into songs....

Believe God's rewards do exist For those who diligently seek Him Be obedient and persist By faith, as THE sole means to do them
