Now faith is the substance
Of things hoped for
The evidence of things not seen
Faith is the substance
Of things hoped for
The evidence of things not seen
But without faith
It is impossible to please Him
For he who comes to God
Must believe that He is
And that He is
A rewarder of those
Of those who diligently
Seek Him
Who diligently seek Him
