Saturday Songs - 32 - "Child Of Faith"

The Special of the Day… From the Orange Moon Cafe…

Friends: each Saturday this year, we are sending the lyrics and a recorded version of one of our songs.   This one is what you might call an exultation.  It's pretty lively, as it concerns the triumph we have in our Lord Jesus Christ.  The tempo is upbeat and the instrumentation has a bit of energy to it.  We're primarily known for more folk type styles, so it's a little different.  This is one of our favorites, written many years ago.   I hope you find it encouraging Thanks, Glen






“Child Of Faith”
Words and music by Glen Davis



We are runnin’ down that road that never ends,
we are flying through the starry skies.
We are sailing on that ocean that knows no shore,
ever looking into Jesus’ eyes.

And by His life within us we will not be deterred,
we will shout the shout of triumph and of praise.
For the gates of hell and death could not contain our Lord,
and they cannot hold His child of faith.
Well this world in which we live was not a friend to our Lord,
it nailed Him to a cruel tree.
And Christian be sure that that cross still stands,
only this time for you and me.

And by His life within us we will not be deterred,
we will shout the shout of triumph and of praise.
For the gates of hell and death could not contain our Lord,
and they cannot hold His child of faith.


Well at the name of Jesus every knee will one day bow,
and every tongue confess His name.
So let us boldly tell the story of an empty tomb,
let us sing with joy that Jesus reigns.

And by His life within us we will not be deterred,
we will shout the shout of triumph and of praise.
For the gates of hell and death could not contain our Lord,
and they cannot hold His child of faith.
