This Thing Called Faith

Moses led the Israelites
To the banks of the old red sea
All of God’s children were crying and praying
Sayin’ what’s gonna happen to me?
Moses prayed then with a shout
And a smile upon his face
He said let’s cross over to the other side
‘Cause I have this thing called faith

I have this faith to live by
And I have his grace to die by
So I lift my eyes up to the highest hill
Just keep your hand in his hand
And a smile upon your face
You can shout through tribulations
When you have this thing called faith
Have this thing called faith

There was a time in Phillipi
When things weren’t going so well
It seemed that war had been declared
By all the foes of hell
Paul and Silas prayed
The earthquake shook
The jailer was amazed
He said shackles and chains don’t mean a thing
When you have this thing called faith
