Lyrics
Faithful, that is Your name
And You are able
You stay the same now and forever
You will never change
Giver, You open Your hand
You are Provider
You meet every need, every desire
By Your unshakable word
We come to You now
In trust, we pray!
(Oh, oh) We're giving You our praises
(Oh, oh) We're living for Your name
(Oh, oh) We're stepping out in faith, we pray
For Your will to be done
We know that You have gone before us
We have Your promise to proclaim
We are stepping out in faith, we pray
For Your will to be done
Builder, what You have started
You will see through
On solid ground, will stand our breakthrough
With hope that is firm and secure
We come to You now
In trust, we pray!
(Oh, oh) We're giving You our praises
(Oh, oh) We're living for Your name
(Oh, oh) We're stepping out in faith, we pray
For Your will to be done
We know that You have gone before us
We have Your promise to proclaim
We are stepping out in faith, we pray
For Your will to be done
We will go
We will follow You
As we hold on to
We hold on to You
We will go
We will follow You
As we hold on to
We hold on to You!
(Oh, oh) We're giving You our praises
(Oh, oh) We're living for Your name
(Oh, oh) We're stepping out in faith, we pray
For Your will to be done
(Oh, oh) We're giving You our praises
(Oh, oh) We're living for Your name
(Oh, oh) We're stepping out in faith, we pray
For Your will to be done
We know that You have gone before us
We have Your promise to proclaim
We are stepping out in faith, we pray
For Your will to be done

Meaning & Inspiration
Faithful presents prayer as a response to the unchanging character of God. The lyric names God as faithful, able, generous, and dependable, then connects those attributes with trust. Provision is described through an open hand and an unshakable word, while the repeated request for divine will to be done keeps praise joined to submission. Rather than treating faith as certainty about a particular outcome, the song grounds confidence in the One who goes before His people.
The later image of a builder develops that confidence further. What God begins is expected to reach completion, giving hope a firm foundation. From there, the song moves outward: those praying are prepared to go, follow, and hold on to God. Its repeated praise and declarations create a communal expression of dependence, but the central petition remains unchanged. The desired result is not personal control; it is that divine purposes prevail as faithful people step forward in trust.
