David was small
But no giant could take him;
And Daniel was doomed
But there was not a wound
When they raised him from the lions' den.
Simon Peter, in chains,
Brought an angel to the rescue;
Paul and Silas, in jail,
Were guarded to no avail,
But their shackles were loosed
And the doors just flew open.
Now what is the catch?
I asked, one day I was readin'
It must be an age-old mystery;
But taking a second look,
I discovered a strikingly clear consistency
It's meetin' disaster face to faith;
Puttin' God's promises into place;
Tendin' to trouble with a little taste
Of what God will do when his people
Start callin' his name;
He anxiously awaits
To give the word to release the power
That prayer creates;
So we gotta learn to meet every problem
That we face,
Face to faith.
Now, now, now, now, people, I've learned
That God's word can be tested;
Just trust him, you'll see
For those who believe
He's still a God of mighty miracles;
So when troubles hit hard
Turn to god and be patient;
Just stand strong, don't run
For there isn't anyone
That he's ever let down
If their lives have been faithful
It's easy to go halfway
And not really do it;
But that makes the consequences rough;
The more the catastrophe,
The sooner you see
That you're so much better off, by (chorus)
(He will deliver us, if we will only learn to trust)
We gotta start meetin' disaster face to faith
Puttin' God's promises into place;
Tendin' to trouble with a little taste
Of what God will do when his people
Start callin' his name;
He anxiously awaits
To give the word to release the power
That prayer creates;
So we gotta learn to meet every problem
That we face,
Face to faith.
