[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
