Such Faith

Remember the flood that covered the earth
Before the rain had ever fell
Now imagine the faith that Noah had
As he prepared God's Boat to sail

Or Abraham's sacrifice of his only son
As he offered up Isaac that day
Did he know that God would provide the Lamb
And His Love would find a way

And then there's Daniel in the lion's den
Whose prayer touched Heaven's Throne
Or Stephen whose faith opened the gates of pearl
As they cast that life-ending stone

Faith the size of a mustard seed
Is all that's ever required
The examples that these have left behind
Such faith is truly inspired
