By Faith

In our new series, members of our church family share their favourite songs. This week Neville shares why the song By Faith” means so much to him.

By Faith by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend is a heartwarming song that encourages us to live in a way that stands out. It reminds us that God invites us on this incredible journey of faith, where we trust in Him even when we can’t see the whole picture. The song beautifully conveys that we’re called to live by faith, looking beyond what’s right in front of us and believing in God’s promises for our future.

What makes this song even more special is its emphasis on we” instead of I.” It reminds us that we’re not alone; we’re part of a community of believers who support each other. It’s a collective journey where we walk together, empowered by the Holy Spirit who gives us strength and guidance. By Faith” inspires us to embrace this journey, encouraging us to look beyond our current circumstances and trust in the amazing things God has planned for us.

Later, Carolyn Dawson shares a song that’s helped her through challenging times in her life: Cornerstone.

    By Faith

    Verse 1

    By faith we see the hand of God
    In the light of creation’s grand design
    In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness
    Who walk by faith and not by sight

    Verse 2

    By faith our fathers roamed the earth
    With the pow’r of His promise in their hearts
    Of a holy city built by God’s own hand
    A place where peace and justice reign

    Chorus

    We will stand as children of the promise
    We will fix our eyes on Him our soul’s reward
    Till the race is finished and the work is done
    We’ll walk by faith and not by sight

    Verse 3

    By faith the prophets saw a day
    When the longed-for Messiah would appear
    With the pow’r to break the chains of sin and death
    And rise triumphant from the grave

    Verse 4

    By faith the church was called to go
    In the pow’r of the Spirit to the lost
    To deliver captives and to preach good news
    In ev’ry corner of the earth

    Verse 5

    By faith the mountain shall be moved
    And the pow’r of the gospel shall prevail
    For we know in Christ all things are possible
    For all who call upon His name
