[Intro] Bm7 Gsus2 Bm7 Gsus2 [Verse 1]
    Bm7             Gsus2
By faith one was commended 

         Asus2          Em7
For the sacrifice he made

  Bm7            Gsus2       
Another, out of holy fear

        Asus2                 Bm7
Built an ark, the world to save

  Asus2           Em7              
Another left his homeland

          Asus2            Gsus2
And as a stranger he'd reside

     Bm7               Asus2      
But none received the promise then

   Gsus2                  Em7
And so, in faith, they died

Bm                 Gsus2         
Others conquered kingdoms

             Asus2            Em7
Quenched the fury of the flames

Bm                   Gsus2            
Some made strong in battle

           Asus2             Bm
Some were raised to life again

    Asus2           Em7             
But many more were martyred

            Asus2              Gsus2
Amidst the crowds’ loud clamoring

    Bm                  Asus2          
By faith they would not bow the knee

    Gsus2                 Em7
Nor kiss the emperor's ring
[Chorus]
A                      Em7
Faith understands and offers

    Gsus2                     D
It assures and calms our fears

        A                  Em7
It can shut the mouths of lions

         Gsus2                   A
And make sense of scars and tears

Gsus2                 D/F#
  We persevere in hope

                      F              G  D
And with conscience clean and clear

    A                 Bm
We walk this fallen wilderness

        Gsus2                Bm   Bm7
With salvation's Pioneer
[Verse 2]
       Bm             Gsus2     
Being sure of what we hope for

       Asus2            Em7
Seeing what is yet unseen

   Bm             Gsus2     
A universe from nothingness

    Asus2                  Bm
New life where none had been

    Asus2              Em7      
The known made from unknowable

    Asus2                 Gsus2
And hope for the comfortless

     Bm               Asus2      
Who hear and hold on firmly to

    Gsus2                 Em7
The faith that they possess
[Chorus]
A                      Em7
Faith understands and offers

    Gsus2                     D
It assures and calms our fears

        A                  Em7
It can shut the mouths of lions

         Gsus2                   A
And make sense of scars and tears

Gsus2                 D/F#
  We persevere in hope

                      F              G  D
And with conscience clean and clear

    A                 Bm
We walk this fallen wilderness

        Gsus2                Asus2
With salvation's Pioneer
[Bridge]
   Em7                     Bm   
So fix your eyes upon the Champion

A                       G
As you seek to run the race

Em7                    Bm           
Understanding that He cheers you on

A                       G
As you long for His embrace

    F                        C  
So hold on and do not grow weary

D#                        A#
Of the faith that you profess

    C#                     G#                    
Remembering that you are ringed around

         D             E
By this cloud of witnesses
[Chorus]
A                      Em7
Faith understands and offers

    Gsus2                     D
It assures and calms our fears

        A                  Em7
It can shut the mouths of lions

         Gsus2                   A
And make sense of scars and tears

Gsus2                 D/F#
  We persevere in hope

                      F              G  D
And with conscience clean and clear

    A                 Bm
We walk this fallen wilderness

        Gsus2            Em7
With salvation's Pioneer
