Faith is the assurance of things hoped for,
Lord Jesus, the conviction of things not seen.
Sometimes, when I stand before you and look,
all that I see is smoke rising from destruction.
What I do not see, I must believe--that you
have not forsaken those who seek you;
therefore I must put my trust in you,
you who will never drive away
anyone who comes to you.
