Find Us Faithful

We're pilgrims on the journey

Of the narrow road

And those who've gone before us line the way

Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary

Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses

Let us run the race not only for the prize

But as those who've gone before us

Let us leave to those behind us

The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

Chorus

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

May the fire of our devotion light their way

May the footprints that we leave

Lead them to believe

And the lives we live inspire them to obey

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone

And our children sift though all we've left behind

May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover

Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

Repeat Chorus

"Ask faith to look through the keyhole of the promise and tell

you what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes; ask it to

listen and tell you whether it cannot hear the shout of those

crowned saints receiving the reward of all their services and

sufferings here on earth. And do you stand on the other side

afraid to wet your foot with those sufferings and temptations,

which, like a little trickle of water, run between you and

glory?" (William Gurnall in "The Christian In Complete Armour
