Let God Be God!

Opening

By faith, we hear.
By faith, we go.
The God who calls
Is faithful still.

Verse 1

By faith, old Noah raised the beams,
And built upon the word received.
By faith, Abraham left his home,
And followed where God called him on.
And Sarah held her newborn son:
The faithful God His word had done.

Transition

Through distant lands, through waiting years,
Their witness reaches to our ears.

Verse 2

By faith, Moses forsook a crown,
And walked the road with those held down.
The sea stood high on either hand;
God brought His people through to land.
By faith, the walls of Jericho fell;
And Rahab lived, her faith to tell.

Verse 3

By faith, the mouths of lions closed;
Through raging fire, His servants rose.
The weak grew strong to face the fight;
And mothers held their dead alive.
Their witness calls through every age:
Our God is faithful; sing His praise!

Verse 4

And some wore chains and suffered long,
Still holding fast when hope seemed gone.
They faced the sword and kept the faith,
And hoped for life beyond the grave.
Their witness calls us still to run,
Our eyes upon the faithful Son.

Jesus Christ

Jesus endured the cross and shame;
Now heaven gives Him highest acclaim.
With every step, with every breath,
We bear His name through life and death.

Call and response

Who is this Jesus? The Father's own Son!

Crucified, risen, the death-conquering One!
Let God be God!

Let God be God!

We are His people; His name we proclaim!
Let God be God!

Let every nation hear His name!

Final proclamation

Let God be God!
Let God be God!
In all His majesty—
And glory!
