[Verse]
Remembering the ones who've gone before
Walk the earth no more
Patiently endured
Kings and Priests and Prophets
Warriors, of men abhorred
Yet they endured
But the promise they received
They never lived to see
The End was yet to be
And now "By Faith ..."
Is up to you and me
[Chorus]
To complete this awesome legacy of faith
To perfect those in eternity who wait
To see the journey's end
We must lay hold of our destiny
We must take our place in history
Among the great, who by faith...
Subdued kingdoms, stopped the mouths of lions
Out of weakness were made strong
The legacy goes on and on
Sawn asunder, no surrender
Sacrifice their greatest honor
Heroes of the earth though it never knew their worth
Embracing that which was to come
Refused the call to settle down
Searching for a city; received a good testimony
What more shall we say, these are they
Who surround us
