I want a faith like that
To see the dead rise or to see You pass by
I want a faith like that
Whatever the cost, I'll suffer the loss
I want a faith like that
I'm not looking for a miracle
Signs and wonders or things thereof
I caught a glimpse of what You want for me
And what I have is not enough
I want a faith that can move any mountain
And send them to the seas
I want a faith that can break every stronghold
That keeps You, that keeps You from me
~Jonah33; Faith Like That
To have faith like that. Is what I want.
I've really noticed God really doesn't want us to boast about anything. I read 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 earlier and I just came to Ephesians 2:8-9 and both passages end with "So that no one can boast". And it's a good reminder to us that God calls us to be humble.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and the He rewards those who earnestly seek him." ~Hebrews 11: 6
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out or us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning it's shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." ~Hebrews 12:1-2
"I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead." ~Philippains 3:10-11
But if We Are The Body
Why Aren't His Arm Reaching
Why Aren't His Hands Healing
Why Aren't His Word Teaching
And If We Are The Body
Why Aren't His Feet Going
Why Is His Love Not Showing
Then There Is A Way
There Is A Way
Jesus Paid Much To High A Price
For Us To Pick and Choose Who Should Come
And We Are The Body Of Christ
~Casting Crowns; We are the Body
I want to feel Your love.
I want to sense Your presence.
I want to be a light.
I want to be a humble servant.
I want faith like that.
I want to be in over my head.
Above all I want to know you.
Just tell me you love me, that you'll never leave. <3
