Story behind the song
This song is about how there is a spiritual life we can pursue. It is based on 2 Corinthians 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
Lyrics
WHEN WE WALK BY FAITH
VERSE 1
WHEN WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT
GOD IS THERE TO HELP US MAKE THE STEPS THAT ARE RIGHT
ON THIS WORLD THAT’S SPINNING ‘ROUND
THERE’S ANOTHER DIMENSION FOR THOSE WHO KNOW WHERE IT’S FOUND
IT’S EASY TO THINK THAT WHAT WE SEE
IS ALL THERE IS, IS ALL THERE EVER WILL BE
CHORUS:
OPEN UP OUR SPIRITS, LORD, AND HELP US TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU WHO MADE THE GALAXIES WILL HEAR US WHEN WE'RE ON OUR KNEES,
VERSE 2
THOUGH WE CAN’T SEE THE OTHER SIDE
THERE IS MORE TO THIS WORLD THAN MEETS THE EYE
THERE’S A GOD WHO’S REALLY THERE
HE HAS A HEART, AND HE ALWAYS CARES
THERE ARE GOOD AND EVIL FORCES AT WORK
THEY’RE LOCKED IN A BATTLE FOR THE SOULS OF MEN ON THIS EARTH
TO CHORUS
VERSE 3
GOD WILL HELP US WALK BY FAITH IN HIM
OUR HEARTS ARE SEEKING HIS LOVE AND POWER TO ENTER IN
HE’S ALWAYS JUST, HE’S ALWAYS GOOD
HE’S BIG ENOUGH TO DO MORE THAN WE THINK HE COULD
HE’S ALWAYS RIGHT, ALWAYS STRONG
HE’S THE MIGHTY ONE, THE ONE TO CALL UPON
TO CHORUS
ENDING
WHEN WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT,
GOD IS THERE TO HELP US MAKE THE STEPS THAT ARE RIGHT
