I’m laying out all the pieces of my life
On the altar I’m Your sacrifice
Let Your fire fall
I’m waiting here
Come and take it all
This heart of fear
All I want is to do my Father’s will
And be a voice to a world that’s standing still
I must keep the faith
Not backing down
We must keep the faith
This is our time
We will overcome
When You are with us we are strong
And love will be our greatest song
We’ll keep the faith
And stand forever
If not us, who will shout Your song of praise?
For every soul to be saved in Jesus’ Name
So we must keep the faith
Not backing down
We must live this faith
This is our time
We believe in God Almighty
We believe in You
We will trust in God Almighty
We will trust in You
We will overcome
When You are with us we are strong
And love will be our greatest song
We’ll keep the faith
And stand forever
We’ll live the faith
And stand forever
