Roll Call of Faith

w/m Bill and Karen Itzel 5/99

I want to be like Daniel
With a faith that could face the lion’s den
I want to be like David
With a humble heart when I know I’ve sinned
Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendego
Who had faith though fire was all around
I want to sing like Paul and Silas
When God’s power rocked the jailhouse down

Chorus
I want to stand up and be counted
with the faithful heroes of old
I want the people around me to notice
that I’m not afraid to be bold
I want the world to see there’s a difference
in the things I do and say
and when I stand before my Savior
I want to be in the roll call of faith

I want to be like Noah
Who did God’s will when others jeered
I want to be like Joshua
Who believed in God when others feared
I want to be like Abraham
and offer all I have to bear
I want to please the Lord like Enoch
and be caught up to meet Him in the air
I want to be like Gideon
Although outnumbered in the fight
He attacked the camp of Median
And God gave victory that night
Am I a dedicated man
So much that when duty calls
I will join the fight of faith
And follow Christ and storm the walls?
