Live By Faith

LIVE BY FAITH

© 2001 Words and Music by Stephen Verner

Verse 1:

I hear an anthem rising from the nations,

It's a prayer reaching up for salvation.

It's a call to God, a cry for help;

As people long for something stronger than themselves

Chorus:

Oh the righteous shall live by faith,

Yeah the righteous shall live by faith.

Oh the righteous shall live, righteous shall live, righteous shall live by faith.

Verse 2:

I hear a call coming from the people,

As they gather in a building with a steeple.

It's a call to God, a cry for grace;

As (Christians) God's people long to stand tall in the human race.

Chorus:

Oh the righteous shall live by faith,

Yeah the righteous shall live by faith.

Oh the righteous shall live, righteous shall live, righteous shall live by faith.

Bridge:

I'm gonna live by faith, I'm gonna live by faith.

I'm gonna live by faith, I'm gonna live by faith.

Trusting in the only one I could ever need.

Chorus:

Oh the righteous shall live by faith,

Yeah the righteous shall live by faith.

Oh the righteous shall live, righteous shall live, righteous shall live by faith.

Ending:

I'm gonna live by faith, so I can love by faith.

I'm gonna walk the faith, and not just talk the faith.

I'm gonna pray by faith, because you save by faith.

I'm gonna live by faith.
