By Faith

Key: D Time Signature: 4-4

==================================

(Verse 1)

D       A/D     G/D          D
  Being sure of what we hope for,

Bm            F#m    Em/G         Bm  A
  And certain of the things we cannot see,

A                 Em              G
  We will run the race marked for us,

G     A          Bm/A       G/A A  G/A   A
  Our eyes fixed constant - ly  on Jes - us;

D            A/D      G/D         D
  Like those who have gone before us,

Bm            F#m     Em/G         Bm    A
  And who God counted righteous by their faith,

A                 Em      G
  Who in times of difficulties

G       A          Bm/A      G/A A   G/A   A
  Still kept their nerve and did not wav - er:

(Chorus)

D    A/D         G/D    D     G/D   A/D
  By faith, they fought great bat - tles,

D    A/D           G/D   A/D D    A/C#
  By faith, worked mir - a - cles,

Bm   F#m7         G     Em/G  G/B 
  By faith, their weaknesses 

       A         Bm/A         G/A    A  G/A A

  Were turned to strength and vict -'ry came;

D    A/D         G/D   D   G/D A/D
  By faith, they heard God speaking,

D    A/D     G/D   A/D D     A/C#
  By faith, obeyed his word,

Bm   F#m7        G    Em/G   G/B
  By faith, they persevered,

      A       Bm/A      G/A  A    G/A A  D G D
  And we like them will live each day by faith.

(Verse 2)

D        A/D        G/D       D
  We can learn from their example,

Bm             F#m     Em/G           Bm    A
  Though suffering and hardships came their way,

A                Em     G
  Even death and persecution

G     A     Bm/A       G/A  A     G/A A
  Did not deflect them from their mis-sion;

D       A/D       G/D       D
  So we too, will not be shaken,

Bm             F#m  Em/G           Bm A
  What seems impossible shall come to be,

A                   Em          G
  Having faith like seeds of mustard

G    A      Bm/A    G/A  A G/A  A
  Is all we need to move a moun-tain:

(Repeat Chorus)
