The Hymn of God's Word "He Who Has True Faith Receives God’s Blessings"



   The Hymn of God's Word "He Who Has True Faith Receives God’s Blessings"


Introduction

When Moses struck the rock and water sprang forth,

a gift from Jehovah, it was by faith.

When David played music to praise Jehovah,

his heart full of joy, it was by faith.

      When Job lost his flocks and all his possessions,

and was covered in boils, it was by faith.

And when he could still hear Jehovah’s voice,

and still perceive His glory, it was by faith.

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!

When Peter followed Jesus and gave glorious testimony

while nailed to a cross, it was by faith.

When John saw the glorious image of the Son of man

and visions of the last days, it was by his faith.

When the Gentiles discover God has returned in the flesh

to do His work, it’s also by faith.

Many are smitten by God’s word, consoled and saved,

judged and cursed, because of faith.

Judgment reveals the destination of God’s creation, the loveliness of the Creator,

and gives you true faith, and what is most precious to you.

God’s conquering work reveals His mighty arm,

an understanding of human life, the right path and the meaning of “man.”

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!

His conquering work reveals His righteous disposition,

the Almighty’s beautiful, glorious face.

God’s conquering work reveals man’s origins and “immortal history,”

his ancestors, and the root of his corruption.

His conquering work imparts joy and comfort,

endless chastening, discipline, and words of reprimand.

God’s conquering work gives blessings and calamities.

And all of this is by your faith.

You have heard God’s word, and seen God’s wisdom.

You have experienced His work, and benefited tremendously.

You may believe that without faith,

you would be free of chastisement and of judgment.

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!

But without faith you would lose the Almighty’s chastening and care,

and be forever bereft of Him.

You would never know the origin of mankind,

nor the significance of life even after death.

Nor would you understand the Creator’s deeds

or know of His work on earth after He made mankind.

As a created human being, are you willing to blindly

fall into darkness and suffer eternal punishment?

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!

It was by faith, by faith. It was by faith and nothing else just simply faith!
