By Faith Keith and Kristyn Getty

By faith we see the hand of God, in the light of creation’s grand design, in the lives of those who prove His faithfulness, who walk by faith and not by sight.

Refrain:

We will stand as children of the promise; We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward. Till the race is finished and the work is done,

we’ll walk by faith and not by sight.

By faith our fathers roamed the earth, with the pow’r of His promise in their hearts, of a holy city built by God’s own hand, a place where peace and justice reign.

Refrain

By faith the prophets saw a day, when the longed for Messiah would appear with the pow’r to break the chains of sin and death and rise triumphant from the grave.

Refrain

By faith the church was called to go, in the pow’r of the Spirit to the lost, to deliver captives and to preach good news, in ev’ry corner of the earth.

Refrain

By faith this mountain shall be moved, and the pow’r of the gospel shall prevail, for we know in Christ all things are possible, for all who call upon His name.

Refrain
