Sight Blind, My God Forbid...

Sight-blind; a blight that handicaps faith like nothing else can

It robs us of peace as we face storms beyond our control

The Evidence of things unseen tests the mettle of man

What we behold with eyes is but the surface of The Whole

Sight-blind; gaze can deceive us if we let down our guard

Instant gratification does not yield humility

The substance of things hoped for can seem dubious and hard

But produces through testing, patience and maturity

Sight-blind; a deadly malady that robs us of love’s joy

Unstable as the wave upon the sea, tossed and wind-blown

For what we see can sometimes be the enemy’s decoy

And what seems like an obstacle might be a stepping stone

Sight-blind, My God, forbid that we rely on what is seen

But fix our eyes of faith upon the Your everlasting ‘yea’

You are I AM  in what remains, what is and what has been

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob’s God for Moses’ of today

Ex.3:5-7 Acts 7:20- Heb.11:23-

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 7The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the affliction of My people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I am aware of their sufferings.…

 Faith, my Lord, to follow Thee

Faith to face the foe

Faith to trust implicitly

The grace whereby we go 

Lyric for By Faith

by Keith Getty

Keith and Kirsten's version here

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

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

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

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

By faith the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost
To deliver captives and to preach good news
In every corner of the earth

We will stand...

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

We will stand...
