Faith isn’t feelings and faith isn’t words
It’s more than observing the lilies or birds
It’s more than believing—the demons believe
It’s more than proclaiming that I will receive
It’s more than just knowing that Yahweh will act
It’s something more constant—yes, faith is a fact
It’s not only knowing His strength for all things
Faith lasts through confusion, and loyally clings
It means that you see things through spiritual eyes
That though you have pain, He has heard all your cries
Faith means to steadfastly stand upon Him
When His paths are clear or when His paths are dim
Faith means you know Him, and know He is good
When He doesn’t do what you thought that He would
Faith means that you know that He still hasn’t failed
Although it might look like the devil prevailed
Faith means accepting that He understands
It’s trusting and yielding your life in His hands
Faith means “be ready” and often means “wait”
It makes you feel vulnerable, yet makes Him great
It means “press your oil—your candlewicks trim
The Bridegroom is coming—abide now in Him!”
