This Precious Faith I Keep
© 2011 Batya Diamond/David Sharp

O faith has sown its seed in me
With tears of joy I reap
For I was saved from trouble by
This precious faith I keep

I took a step when it was dark
And could not see the way
‘Til I beheld a glimmer of
The brilliant light of faith

I feared that if I drew too close
The fire would burn me whole
And then I knew my heart had found
The faith to heal my soul

Through fortune and adversity
In waking and in sleep
O bless the light that shines within
This precious faith I keep

[You are my guide O Holy One
[A lamp unto my feet
[Your love it warms me like the sun
[And wholly I believe
