[Intro]
Bm G Bm G
[Verse 1]
Bm G A Em
By faith one was commended for the sacrifice he made
Bm G A Bm
Another, out of holy fear, built an ark, the world to save
A Em A G
Another left his homeland, and as a stranger he'd reside
Bm A G Em
But none received the promise then, and so, in faith, they died
Bm G A Em
Others conquered kingdoms, quenched the fury of the flames
Bm G A Bm
Some made strong in battle, some were raised to life again
A Em A G
But many more were martyred, amidst the crowds’ loud clamoring
Bm A G Em
By faith they would not bow the knee, nor kiss the emperor's ring
[Chorus]
A Em
Faith understands and offers
G D
It assures and calms our fears
A Em
It can shut the mouths of lions
G A
And make sense of scars and tears
G D
We persevere in hope
F G D
And with conscience clean and clear
A Bm
We walk this fallen wilderness
G Bm
With salvation's Pioneer
[Verse 2]
Bm G A Em
Being sure of what we hope for, seeing what is yet unseen
Bm G A Bm
A universe from nothingness, new life where none had been
A Em A G
The known made from unknowable, and hope for the comfortless
Bm A G Em
Who hear and hold on firmly to the faith that they possess
[Chorus]
A Em
Faith understands and offers
G D
It assures and calms our fears
A Em
It can shut the mouths of lions
G A
And make sense of scars and tears
G D
We persevere in hope
