I wish I could see just three steps in front of me
But the lamp unto my feet it only moves when I take a step
And believe Your word to me Lord, You have a history
That proves You’re worthy of my faith

It's the evidence of things I cannot see
And Faith it's the confidence that You are holding me
It's stepping out, it's breaking through
All my doubts and all I thought I knew
’Cause you've never lived until you’ve lived
(By faith)
You’ve never lived until you’ve lived
By faith

I want to be a man like Abraham
He went to a foreign land ‘cause You said go
He trusted You by faith
Of a tiny mustard see to mountains we can speak
Believe and move them by faith

You are who You say You are
And You will do what You have promised to
And I believe

You've never lived until you've lived by faith
You've never lived until you've trusted grace
You've never lived till you lay it all down
So come and live, faith is living

Behind the Song:
"This is my favorite song on the record. I have learned to live by faith and I’m still learning to live by faith. I love the way the song opens. ‘I wish I could see just three steps in front of me, but the lamp unto my feet only moves when I take a step.’ That’s me. I can’t see three steps in front of me. I don’t know what’s next. God doesn’t give me that much information. He gives me a lamp unto my feet. When I take a step, only then can I see the next step to take. I’ve learned this is the way I have to live. I think this song will really hit home with a lot of people." - John Waller
