Patience Through Faith

Romans 5:1-5

Through our faith we have righteousness,
So in Christ let us be at peace with God;
For He shall pour out His blessedness,
In showing respect as we honor and laud.

Through Him we have come to this grace,
By faith only have we been able to know;
His Word for direction in time and space,
For nurturing our spirit in Him to grow.

Let us have peace and joy within our hope,
In the glorification of our Heavenly Father;
Even through trials that we're able to cope,
And going beyond obstacles much further.

Let us also have joy from all of those woes,
For those problems is giving us the power;
And it strengthens our faith while it grows,
As we persevere through each stressful hour.

Patience gives experience that builds trust,
But our trust does not put us to any shame;
With knowing that the love of God is just,
Through the Holy Spirit in our hearts came.
