Find Us Faithful

We're pilgrims on the journey
 of the narrow road,
 and those who've gone before us
 line the way.
 cheering on the faithful,
 encouraging the weary,
 their lives a stirring testament
 to god's sustaining grace.
 o may all who come behind us
 find us faithful,
 may the fire of our devotion
 light their way.
 may the footprints that we leave,
 lead them to believe,
 and the lives we live
 inspire them to obey.
 o may all who come behind us
 find us faithful.
 Surrounded by so great
 a cloud of witnesses,
 let us run the race
 not only for the prize,
 but as those who've gone before us.
 let us leave to those behind us,
 the heritage of faithfulness
 passed on thru godly lives.
 After all our hopes and dreams
 have come and gone,
 and our children sift thru all
 we've left behind,
 may the clues that they discover,
 and the mem'ries they uncover,
 become the light that leads them,
 to the road we each must find.
