By Faith (Poem)

By Faith

By faith, Abel worshipped the Lord
When he offered his sacrifice on that day.
Believing in the coming Lamb of God,|
He came to the altar by faith in God’s way.

By faith, Enoch walked with God -
So dedicated to the Lord he did not roam;
He pleased his Heavenly Father so very well,
He did not taste death when the Lord took him home.

By faith, Noah worked for God;
His family was saved from wrath outpoured;
Kept securely with the animals upon the flood,
Preserved in the ark, shut in safely with the Lord.

By faith, Abraham waited on God,
Though he did not receive the promises in his day;
He looked to the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ -
Now all who believe are his children by faith.

By faith these believers all worshipped and waited;
By faith they all walked with the Lord day by day;
By faith they served their Heavenly Father faithfully;
Oh consider their examples of faith today.

What will you do by faith in the Lord?
Will you worship and wait and walk in His way?
Will serve your Saviour, dedicated to His will?
Will you trust Him and seek Him by faith today?

God can do abundantly above all that we ask or think.
Will you trust Him by faith with all His plans for you?
Will you walk, and work, and worship, and wait -
Will you seek to please God in all that you do?

By faith.

Hebrews 11:4-10 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
