Faith is The Victory

 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

We are wasting our time worrying about the future because we simply can’t know it or change it, Pro. 27:1. 


Just know that it is part of God’s plan for the end times and leave it in His hands. 


After all, God promised to meet our needs, Phil. 4:19. 


Have faith in God. 


Faith is The Victory

Encamped along the hills of light,    —    Ye Christian soldiers, rise,    —    And press the battle ere the night    —    Shall veil the glowing skies.    —    Against the foe in vales below    —    Let all our strength be hurled; — Faith is the victory, we know, — That overcomes the world.


CHORUS:

Faith is the victory!    —    Faith is the victory!    —    Oh, glorious victory,    —    That overcomes the world.


His banner over us is love, — Our sword the Word of God; — We tread the road the saints above — With shouts of triumph trod. —    By faith, they like a whirlwind’s breath,    —    Swept on o’er every field;    —    The faith by which they conquered death    —    Is still our shining shield.


On every hand the foe we find — Drawn up in dread array; — Let tents of ease be left behind, — And onward to the fray. — Salvation’s helmet on each head, — With truth all girt about, — The earth shall tremble ’neath our tread, — And echo with our shout.


To him that overcomes the foe,    —    White raiment shall be giv’n;    —    Before the angels he shall know    —    His name confessed in heav’n. — Then onward from the hills of light, —   Our hearts with love aflame,    —    We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night,    —    In Jesus’ conqu’ring name.


John H. Yates 1891
