[Intro: Deep male voice, spoken over soft Cuban tres guitar and hand percussion] Faith is believing Yahuah. Even when the promise is still ahead. Even when our eyes cannot see it. We trust His Word, and we walk. [Verse 1: Warm, resonant male lead] Faith gives substance to the things we hope for, The evidence of what we cannot see. By faith our ancestors gained their testimony, Trusting in Yahuah faithfully. We understand that the worlds were formed by His Word, What we see came from what was unseen. Abel brought an offering that pleased Elohim, And his faith still speaks through history. Enoch walked with Elohim and pleased Him, Then he was taken, and no one found him. For whoever comes to Yahuah must believe, That He lives and rewards those who seek Him. [Pre-Chorus: Male harmonies gradually rising] No empty words, no faith in name alone, We trust the One whose promises stand strong. We seek His face, we follow where He leads, We put our faith in Him, and then believe! [Chorus: Huge Cuban male ensemble, call and response] LEAD: We walk by faith! MEN: We walk by faith! LEAD: We trust His Word! MEN: We trust His Word! ALL: Though we cannot see the promise yet, We know that Yahuah will not forget! We stand in faith, we will not turn away, We trust our Elohim and walk His way! [Verse 2: Lead vocal over lively son rhythm] Noah heard the warning before the rain, He built the ark and believed Yahuah. His faith condemned the world that would not listen, And he became an heir of righteousness. Abraham was called to leave his homeland, He obeyed without knowing where he would go. He lived in tents within the promised land, Trusting the One who told him so. Isaac and Jacob shared the same promise, They waited for what they could not see. Abraham looked toward a city built by Elohim, A lasting home prepared for eternity. [Pre-Chorus: Brass accents, rising harmonies] They were strangers here, but not forgotten, They looked beyond the life they knew. They longed for a better homeland, Trusting the One whose Word is true! [Chorus: Full male ensemble, powerful harmony] LEAD: We walk by faith! MEN: We walk by faith! LEAD: We trust His Word! MEN: We trust His Word! ALL: Though we cannot see the promise yet, We know that Yahuah will not forget! We stand in faith, we will not turn away, We trust our Elohim and walk His way! [Bridge: Percussion drops back, deep male lead with soft harmonies] Sarah believed the One who promised, And strength came when hope seemed gone. From one man came descendants beyond counting, The stars above, the sand along the shore. They died still trusting what was promised, They saw it far ahead and believed. They knew this world was not their final homeland, And sought the city Yahuah would give. [Final Chorus: Massive male choir, brass and percussion at full strength] WE WALK BY FAITH! WE TRUST HIS WORD! THE PROMISE STANDS! YAHUAH IS FAITHFUL! Though we cannot see the promise yet, We know that Yahuah will not forget! We stand in faith, we will not turn away, We trust our Elohim and walk His way! [Outro: Deep male ensemble, Cuban son groove fading naturally] We walk by faith. We trust His Word. Yahuah is faithful. His promise stands.
