Find Us Faithful

I came to the Lord in 1980. I am thankful to the people whom God graciously put in my life to show me the show.

God uses each of us at one point or another to help a fellow believer. A two-month-old Christian looks up to a two-year-old Christian. We have not arrived but God minister through us as we avail ourselves to Him. May the Lord help us to be faithful in our witness. May the people who come behind us find us faithful as we allow God to shine through us for His glory.

Find Us Faithful

We're pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives

Chorus:
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift though all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
