Give Me Faith ~

Give me faith unwavering,
 so I may stand steadfast
 give me strength astounding
 so rough seas I may outlast.

Give me faith unshakable,
 so I may walk faithfully
 give me hope unfaltering
 so I may tread gracefully.

Give me faith undoubting,
 so I may be committed
 give me power unflinching
 so my sins may be acquitted.

Give me faith unending,
 so I may see eternity
 give me grace eternal
 so I may die in certainty.

Give me faith everlasting,
 give me faith, give me power
 give me faith everlasting
 give me faith ~ until my final hour!

Romans 1:17

"For in it the righteousness of God is revealed
 from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just
 shall live by faith."

~ Oh, The Joy Jesus Brings ~
The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~

There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.

No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.

In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.

When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!
