Faith is the grasping of Almighty power;
The hand of man laid on the arm of God;
The grand and blessed hour
In which things impossible to me
Become possible, O Lord, through Thee. - Anna E. Hamilton

Story behind the song
I have beenr eading a book called Don't Just Sit There... Have Faith! by Ronald Dunn and I felt God led me to do a song about some of the things I had learnt from that. I don't live my life according to religion. I live my life according to faith, in God.
Lyrics
Keep the faith, believe in grace, look deep in the face
Of He who keeps all His promises, don't seek your own way
And don't say, I believe He can or He will
He has, what's come to pass, will come to pass still
The Lord, ain't just the Rewarder, He's the Reward
The All in All, be sure to fall on the purest words
Ever spoken, open the Word unto Matthew 8
The story of the centurion, then you'll have you faith
He believed, and he received each of Jesus' promises
And cos he believed, what was promised was what was did
So these words I say to you, Jesus can and will do
And even if you don't believe them, they're still true
I'm not without doubt, even with the best of "may"
But I'm blessed with grace, on the Lord I rest my faith
Do I expect to pray so God gives me what I want?
No, that faith's not real, it's God's will, cos mine is not enough
God has promised all these things, but still I look for help
And cos I lust for wealth, I know to never trust my self
But faith is the key to the greatest belief
And the greatest of peace, Lord, my faith is in Thee
Probably all of you would listen to a great miracle
Well guess what... that's just exactly what I'm giving you!
So sit quietly and silently, with knees crossed
Through faith only, are we able to please God!
It seems hard, to think when God despises sin
That arises in all of the lives we live
To believe that God is, even when it seems He isn't
When what you want is the opposite of what He's giving
When He seems so far away, it's hard to pray
But to believe His will is best... that's the faith
His will is best for Him, His will is best for you
If you're His child, think how much He must treasure you!
You'll learn this lesson soon, and I pray you will
I found it hard to have peace, when my dad was taken ill
When I failed my exams, when I failed as a man
But see now how God has raised me, I am able to stand!!
God has promised all these things, but still I look for help
And cos I lust for wealth, I know to never trust my self
But faith is the key to the greatest belief
And the greatest of peace, Lord, my faith is in Thee
We want rewards, dear Lord, I pray for this and this
But the real reward, well we're just missing it!
Don't try and tell God what's really best for you
Isn't it His will that happens each time He blesses you?
Dear Lord I ask for, and Thy will be done
Keep me from my wants, til mine and Thine wills be one
Father let me seek not, rewards as all for me
Until like Enoch, you are the Reward that I seek
The faith that leads us to Jesus, in Him made strong
Shut the mouths of lions, quenched fires, is the same one
The same faith, is claimed great through all thus
But just as great, the faith, in the face of torture
Chain me, maim me, slay me, stone me
If only, you'll keep me holy, as you are Holy
Through tears, fears and all, You'll never let me fall too far
My prayer is just, Lord, let me be... as You are!
