Babbie Mason - Heritage of Faith lyrics
[Babbie Mason - Heritage of Faith lyrics]
The patriarchs of old
The saints that now are gone
To their great reward
Held fast to the struggle
Persistent through the years
Forging through their fears
They fought to change their world
For the sake of the gospel
May their love for Jesus never go unnoticed
May they spur us on to all
That lies before us
This heritage of faith this legacy of love
We must pass to our daughters
Hand down to our sons
We must raise the standard high
And proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And this heritage of faith
In my heart I hear the call
That echoes from the cross
Where the sacrifice for man
Was freely rendered
It's the call to stand for right
Keep the faith and fight the fight
So the ones who come behind
Will always remember
That the message of the truth
Is still worth fighting for
And if the truth still makes us free
Then it’s worth dying for
This heritage of faith this legacy of love
We must pass to our daughters
Hand down to our sons
We must raise the standard high
And proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And this heritage of faith
Oh, the faith of our fathers
And their fathers before
Will be the strength of our children
And their children to come
This heritage of faith this legacy of love
You gotta pass to your daughters
Pass it down to your sons
We must raise the standard high
And proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And this heritage of faith
We must proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And our heritage of faith
The saints that now are gone
To their great reward
Held fast to the struggle
Persistent through the years
Forging through their fears
They fought to change their world
For the sake of the gospel
May their love for Jesus never go unnoticed
May they spur us on to all
That lies before us
This heritage of faith this legacy of love
We must pass to our daughters
Hand down to our sons
We must raise the standard high
And proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And this heritage of faith
In my heart I hear the call
That echoes from the cross
Where the sacrifice for man
Was freely rendered
It's the call to stand for right
Keep the faith and fight the fight
So the ones who come behind
Will always remember
That the message of the truth
Is still worth fighting for
And if the truth still makes us free
Then it’s worth dying for
This heritage of faith this legacy of love
We must pass to our daughters
Hand down to our sons
We must raise the standard high
And proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And this heritage of faith
Oh, the faith of our fathers
And their fathers before
Will be the strength of our children
And their children to come
This heritage of faith this legacy of love
You gotta pass to your daughters
Pass it down to your sons
We must raise the standard high
And proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And this heritage of faith
We must proclaim the name of Christ
That others may know the way
And our heritage of faith
