What Is Faith?

Hebrews 11:1,2 "Now faith is the 'substance (assurance) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by 'it (faith) the elders 'obtained (won) a good report." By faith, know God is there even if you don't feel him.

"Faith is the Substance of Things Hoped For"

See me holding you,

when you feel I'm not there.

See me holding you

when you have not a friend to share.

See at the end of the tunnel

past the dark, to the light.

See now the miracles you need.

Even though they seem nowhere in sight.

See past the valley

to the Mountain.

See past the dry desert

to the Fountain.

See in your life my hand

upon everything.

See in the trials

the blessings that I bring.

See now the grass is green

and not on the other side.

See now the Peace after the storm,

and after the raging tide.

See now the crown

at the end of the race.

See now I am!

Don't let anything else take my place.

See past the sky

that sometimes is gray.

See and understand, after the long night,

there is coming the day!

See already, the answer

that is on the way.

Past the doubts, the questions,

and dismay.

During the trials, see now the songs

that is coming out of this.

See past the pain and heartache,

to the Heavenly Bliss.

This is the point, my child,

I don't want you to miss.

The substance of things hoped for

is what faith is!
