about

Hebrews 11

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.

People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.

If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.

Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

lyrics

We’ve know peace and we have known war
Seen prosperity trample the poor
With the hopes of those gone before
We live in faith

This world has nothing compared
To the promised glory we’ll share
If we just hold fast ‘til we’re there
We live in faith

We’ll rise again
Death’s not the end
We’ll rise again
Death’s not the end

You knew sorrow and you knew our pain
You saw religion manipulate grace
By your wounds our sins are erased
We live in faith

This world it surely will fade
Just as night surrenders to day
When death is laid in the grave
We live in faith

We’ll rise again
Death’s not the end
We’ll rise again
Death’s not the end

We’ve know peace and we have known war
Seen prosperity trample the poor
With the hopes of those gone before
We live in faith
