Real Living Faith
God is absolutely real and living
in His word revealed read words divine
God's prophets speak through the ages
the eternal word comes as a sign
Faith is taking God's every word to heart
holding it in your bosom so deep
to believe such things is God's gift
spiritually awakened from one's sleep
But who can attain to this height?
to have faith that pleases the Lord
natural man like me have such lack
having faith in the living God in accord
Plead in prayer for real live faith
fully true that's able to move a mountain
intercede with real heart pleadings
having faith to rise like a fountain
The spirit's willing but flesh is weak
like the disciples who often fell asleep
wish that I could be full of faith
but so often feel want to weep
