Lyrics

Faith, while trees are still in blossom,
plans the picking of the fruit;
faith can feel the thrill of harvest
when the buds begin to sprout.

Long before the dawn is breaking,
faith anticipates the sun.
Faith is eager for the daylight,
for the work that must be done.

Long before the rains were coming,
Noah went and built an ark.
Abraham, the lonely migrant,
saw the light beyond the dark.

Faith, uplifted, tamed the water
of the undivided sea.
and the people of the Hebrews
found the path that made them free.

Faith believes that God is faithful:
God will be what God will be.
Faith accepts the call, responding,
“I am willing, Lord, Send me.”
