IT TAKES FAITH, to know that I’m forgiven
It takes faith, to see beyond reason
It takes faith, faith to move the mountains in our lives
Just to know the kindness of
A God who gave the one He loved, for me
To understand the hope He gives
And faith enough so we can live for Him
It takes hope, hope to see tomorrow
It takes hope, to see beyond the sorrow
It takes hope, to wait for the answer
It takes hope, it takes hope
It takes love, love to love your neighbour
It takes love, that never surrenders
It takes love, to finish what you’ve started in us
Mark Tedder
