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.

Let Your Love Flow

LET YOUR LOVE FLOW

Verse 1:

I’m the river bed, and you’re the river.

You smooth out my rough edges, and I give your love a safe place to flow.

Chorus:

So let your love go. Let your love flow –

Over me, Over me.

It’s changing me, in ways I can’t see;

And I know, it’s not just for show.

So let your love flow – over me, over me.

Wonder Of Your Grace

WONDER OF YOUR GRACE

Verse 1:

Just like Adam and Eve,

I’ve pulled the apple from the tree.

I thought it would taste so sweet.

Instead I found sin’s (its) bitterness.

Now I long for tenderness,

That only You can give.

Chorus:

I’ve walked my own way,

Said the wrong thing.

Oh, how could I forget?

I want the Lord’s way.

It’s a new day.

Don’t know how I got this far,

Without knowing who you are.

But here I stand amazed,

At the wonder of Your grace.

My Love Song To You

MY LOVE SONG TO YOU

VERSE 1:

The world and all its trinkets can’t compare to you.

For you see me through and through, and yet you love me.

For too long I have chased other lovers, real or imaginary,

But none could give me what I find in Your sanctuary.

Chorus:

Now I am content.

In you all my needs are met.

So how could I forget,

To sing my love song to you?

Song Of The Nations

SONG OF THE NATIONS

© Words by Stephen D. Verner - Thursday, January 14, 2010 – 9:00am-9:40am

VERSE 1:

From different places in many nations,

With different faces from all the races,

We all join together in God’s song;

To love what’s right, and hate what’s wrong.

Come fill our hearts God with your light,

So we can love LIKE You and not by sight.

CHORUS:

Fill us up Lord, Fill us up!

Fill us up Lord, with Your Love!

Fill our hearts Lord with Your fire!

Let our lives burn with desire!

For the nations, we cry to You!

Let them know Lord, You are True! OR Let our hunger be for Your Truth!

VERSE 2:

From all the tones and shades, hues and colors,

You have called us together as sisters and brothers.

We all join together in God’s song;

To lift up the weak and make them strong.

Come fill our hearts Lord with Your revelation,

So we can take it to every nation.

CHORUS:

Fill us up Lord, Fill us up!

Fill us up Lord, with Your Love!

Fill our hearts Lord with Your fire!

Let our lives burn with desire!

For the nations, we cry to You!

Let them know Lord, You are True! OR Let our hunger be for Your Truth!
