Hebrews 11
Through faith they obtained
Through faith they subdued
Through faith they worked righteousness
Through faith they were renewed
The weak became valiant
Quenched the violence of fire
They stopped the mouths of lions
Through faith they rose higher
Humbly walking with God
Not bowing down to Caesar
One man was named Enoch
He was a true God pleaser
There was Noah and Moses
And Joseph and Abraham
And Sarah's faith was mentioned
Her faith caused her to stand
There was Isaac and Jacob
And David and Samuel
Stepping out by faith
They let God have control
Faith dwelt in their hearts
A heavenly deposit
Like Gideon and Samson
And all of the prophets
Remember lowly Rahab
The faith of this harlot
Protected in Jericho
By a cord of scarlet
Women received their dead
Raised to life again
Moses chose affliction over
The passing pleasures of sin
Many of them were tortured
Their common lot was rejection
They did not accept deliverance
Waiting for a better resurrection
Some believers were stoned
Others were sawn in two
They wandered destitute
But by faith they stayed true
Trials of imprisonment
Others were put in chains
But through their humble faith
They made supernatural gains
Some were tormented
Afflicted in their journey
But of their humble faith
The world was not worthy
There is evidence unseen
But true faith is not phony
Through it they obtained
An even greater testimony
They conquered and overcame
On this hard earthly sod
For they knew without faith
It is impossible to please God
