Faith Begins by Letting Go

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr, b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Faith begins by letting go, giving up what had seemed sure, taking risks and pressing on, though the way feels less secure: pilgrimage both right and odd, trusting all our life to God. 2 Faith endures by holding on, keeping memory’s roots alive so that hope may bear its fruit; promise fed, our souls will thrive, not through merit we possess but by God’s great faithfulness. 3 Faith matures by reaching out, stretching minds, enlarging hearts, sharing struggles, living prayer, binding up the broken parts; till we find the commonplace ripe with witness to God’s grace.

Still it keeps us firmly fixed in Christ alone. 2 Though the world may change its fashion, you will still remain the same; your compassion and your covenant through all ages will remain. Your own children shall forever praise your name. 3 Your compassion is our story, is our boasting all the day; mercy free and never failing moves our will, directs our way. God so loved us that he gave his only Son. 4 Loving Father, now before you we shall ever sing your grace, and our song will sound forever when we see you face to face, giving glory to the Lamb upon the throne.

Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind; that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.
