Firm in the Faith
Firm in the Faith
w/m Bill & Karen Itzel He had every reason to seek vindication He’d been wronged in so many ways Sold as a slave to a foreign nation His own brothers had brought him disgrace PreChorus: A beckoning voice said seek your own pleasure Joseph would cling to a much higher rule Forsaking the lure of earth’s fading treasures Joseph stood firm in the faith Chorus 1 He stood firm in the faith He stood firm in the faith When the battle was raging he would flee from temptation For God would provide his escape He stood firm in the faith He had every excuse to cave to temptation His past held so many scars All around him the lure of seduction So many ways he could fall PreChorus: A beckoning voice said seek your own pleasure But he would cling to a much higher rule Forsaking the lure of earth’s fading treasures He would stand firm in the faith It’s so very easy for pride to consume So easy to seek my own gain I’m often tempted to not be thankful Take all I’ve been given in vain PreChorus: A beckoning voice says seek my own pleasure But I will cling to a much higher rule Forsaking the lure of earth’s fading treasures I will stand firm in the faith Chorus 2 I’ll stand firm in the faith I’ll stand firm in the faith Turning from my desires without hesitation God’s spirit will show me the way I’ll stand firm in the faith I’ll stand firm in the faith Turning from my desires without hesitation God’s spirit will show me the way I’ll stand firm in the faith |
