Faith Will Stand Lyrics

How long, O Lord

Do You see the pain

Do You hear the cry

Injustice reigns

The prophet pleads

Where are You, Lord

The world still bleeds

The righteous stumble

The wicked thrive

Tell me, Lord

How can this survive

The answer comes

Not what he'd expect

A rising power

Babylon's next

They'll sweep the land

Fierce and wild

But in their pride

They'll be reviled

Though the fig tree withers

And the fields bear no grain

Though the flocks vanish

And the world brings pain

Faith will stand

Faith will rise

The just live by faith, not sight

I will trust in the Lord

My strength, my guide

He lifts me up to the mountainside

Woe to the greedy

Who build on blood

Their empires crumble

Beneath the flood

Their idols fail

Their riches decay

The earth is filled

With the Lord's display

The Lord is in His temple

Let the earth be still

Justice flows like waters

He fulfills His will

Though the fig tree withers

And the fields bear no grain

Though the flocks vanish

And the world brings pain

Faith will stand

Faith will rise

The just live by faith, not sight

I will trust in the Lord

My strength, my guide

He lifts me up to the mountainside

I will rejoice in the God of my salvation

He makes my feet like the deer

He leads me to high places

Though the fig tree withers

And the fields bear no grain

Though the flocks vanish

And the world brings pain

Faith will stand

Faith will rise

The just live by faith, not sight

I will trust in the Lord

My strength, my guide

He lifts me up to the mountainside

Write the vision plain

Though it waits

It won't delay

The Lord will reign
