Song of Faith

Scripture becomes song in this Hebrews-based anthem that includes words from Charles Wesley. The melody begins simply, rising as if reaching to a great truth. With the words Faith is being sure of what we hope for. Faith is the proof of things we do not see, we begin the search. Unison is used for clarity of text thickening in the refrain which incorporates the Wesley hymn Let Us Live by Faith Alone. Because of the foundational theology presented and the final verse's affirmation of the church's mission and destiny, this would be an excellent choice for church anniversaries.
