Faith Begins by Letting Go
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: James 1:2-8 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. Topics: Confessing Faith; Faith; Nurturing Faith Used With Tune: FIDES INCIPIT
