1.

Faith in Jesus fills us with the Spirit’s might—
Living waters from us flow with life and light—
Breaks with human reas’ning, all around us cleansing,
Crushing every hindrance that would bind us here.

Chorus:

Living faith, living faith breaks the bands of unbelief.
Living faith, living faith makes us bold and strong.
Living faith gives power o’er the world to conquer,
Carries us through everything that comes along.

2.

Joshua’s, Caleb’s spirit lives in us today;
All the giants in the land we’ll quickly slay.
Hear the trumpet calling; mighty walls are falling!
Jordan and the seas roll back for living faith!

3.

Living faith speaks only of the present time,
And to God’s good pleasure leaves the past behind.
Faith has for tomorrow, joy and hope, no sorrow—
Makes the battle of today our one concern.

4.

Living faith professes far and wide its hope;
As it’s written, “I believed and therefore spoke.”
We believe, so speak we, show forth Jesus boldly.
We will honor God with all our deeds on earth.
