walk by faith by tobin alford

“Walk By Faith is a prayer for Christ, whom we believe to be truer than visible reality, to give us faith when our doubts are overwhelming. ‘Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory (1 Peter 1:8)’”

— Tobin Alford

lyrics

Verse 1
You know the number of the stars
And every grain of sand
You know me and You hold me
Though I be as small as them.

Verse 2
You made the earth’s foundations
And determined its breadth
Enthroned above the constellations
Yet You see me in the depths

Pre Chorus 1
And while I’m filled with
Questions of wonder
Every breath is filled with praise
Though this land is foreign
I don’t wander
I’ve seen enough of You

Chorus
To walk by faith
To walk by faith

Verse 3
You give the morning breath
To waken all to rise again
Continued through the ages
Till you tell it all to end
Continued through the ages
Till you tell it all to end

Pre Chorus 2
And while I’m filled with
Questions of wonder
Every breath is filled with praise
Though this land is foreign
I don’t wander
I’ve seen enough of You

Chorus 2
To walk by faith
To walk by faith
I walk by faith
I walk by faith

Bridge
My eyes are open
To just catch a glimpse
And one day my eyes will open
To take all of You in
And at the demise of the distance
I will know all of my existence
But until then, but until then

Chorus 3
I walk by faith
I walk by faith
I walk by faith
I walk by faith
