Eyes of Faith
Another oldie, recently being given a new coat of paint.
Lyrics:
faith is the essence of things hoped for,
of things unseen
speak with your tongue, hear with your ears, see with the eyes of faith.
[verse 1]
God looked down and saw the wickedness of man
He knew He had to clean the slate and He had a plan
God told Noah to build a boat – your neighbor’s gonna sink but you’re gonna float
Noah got to work and He didn’t complain they laughed at him – ‘til it started to rain…
[repeat chorus]
[verse 2]
testing Abraham, God said let’s have a little talk
grab your son and your sharpest knife
And let’s go and take a walk
trudging to the altar’s site
they didn’t look left and they didn’t turn right
Abraham was sent to obey
he’d passed the test and God made another way
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
do you know who you believe and what He has to say?
When He calls on you to show your faith
do you stand or run away?
do you stand or run away?
[repeat chorus]
speak with your tongue, hear with your ears, see with the eyes… of faith.
