Dedicated to the Bishop and Mrs. Paul E. Martin.
By faith we rise to noble heights,
Of purity and love;
By faith we lay our treasures where,
They should be, up above.
By faith we live a life that's pure,
By faith we comprehend;
The will of God, which teaches us,
To quit ourselves like men.
By faith we pour the oil and wine,
Good neighbors try to be;
By faith we strive to be like Christ,
The Lamb of Cavalry.
How wonderful, how beautiful,
The whole of life, my friend;
When you and I have learned by faith,
To overcome all sin.
The storms and floods of life may come,
They come unto us all;
By faith we build upon the Rock,
So that we may not fall.
And when the silver cord shall loose,
The golden bowl shall break;
If we have been faithful to God,
He then our souls shall take.
~ J. J. Davis ~
