My Faith Looks Up To Thee

 2 Corinthians 5:7  For we walk by faith, not by sight:

We are told that we are to navigate this world “walking by faith.”  


God allows us to pass through trials, tragedies, and traumas to prepare us for glory, to remake us into His perfect image, 2 Cor. 4:17; Rom. 8:18; Eph. 4:13-15.


My Faith Looks Up To Thee

_____________________________


My faith looks up to Thee,   —   Thou Lamb of Calvary,  —  Savior divine!   —   Now hear me while I pray,   —   Take all my guilt away,   —   Oh, let me from this day   —   Be wholly Thine!


May Thy rich grace impart  —  Strength to my fainting heart,  — My zeal inspire!   —   As Thou hast died for me,   —   Oh, may my love to Thee   —   Pure, warm, and changeless be,   —   A living fire!


While life’s dark maze I tread, — And griefs around me spread,  —   Be Thou my guide;   —   Bid darkness turn to day,  —  Wipe sorrow’s tears away,   —   Nor let me ever stray   —   From Thee aside.


Ray Palmer 1830
