LYRICS- WALK BY FAITH
(Bishop Iona Locke)
Lead singer- You need to walk by faith.
Group responds “walk by faith” after every line by the lead singer until otherwise indicated
Come on and walk by faith, children.
You need to walk by faith.
Come on and walk by faith.
The book of Hebrews says
Israel walked by faith
And when they came to the Red Sea
Moses led them through the Red Sea
Ow! Oh, Oh, Oh, Oooh!
You gotta walk by faith
And then there was Abraham
He had to walk by faith
And, at the age of 100,
He and Sarah had a baby boy.
Annnnd, I know children
You gotta walk by faith
And then there was Samson
He had to walk by faith
He stepped out of the way
And they shaved off his hair
Samson went to God and said
If my life over, weell
But his hair began to grow
And he did more at the end of his life
Then he did in the beginning.
You need to walk by faith
Heey! You need to walk by faith
Step out and walk
And walk
Group sings “Keep walkin, walk by faith” after every line
And walk
Every day,
Keep trusting
Keep on believing
Keep on trusting
Trusting
Believing
Just keep on believing
Keep on stepping, stepping
You can make it
Yu can make it
Keep on trusting in Him
Trust in the Lord
Oh, aah aah ahh ah
Oh, aah aah ahh ah
Trust Him with all your might
Aahh aah ahh, Trust Him
Trust Him with all your faith
Yeeeaeh a a a, trust Him
Ahhh, trust Him
Trust Him
Trust Him
Trust Him
Trust Him
Trust Him
Trust Him
Trust Him
Trust Him
Ahhh, walk by faith
Walk by faith
Oh, walk
Walking
Oh, walk
Walk
Walk
Walk
Walk
Ahhhhhh!
Lead singer stops singing while the Group repeatedly sings
Keep walking, walk by faith
