When Faith Steps In

When you call on one who you cannot see and you give
 him your heart for all eternity that's when faith begins.
 When you turn away from all your sin and you trust in
 the lord to cleanse you within that's when faith begins.
 in childlike trust you hold your
 hand simply believing salvation's plan
 When you feel you can't go on another day yet still
 somehow you kneel down and pray that's when faith steps in.
 when all seems lost there's no hope in
 sight but still you sing on through the night
 that's when faith steps in
 faith brings joy and peace in the midst of a storm
 it sends out a life line when you're tossed and worn
 when you say goodbye to your dearest friends
 and through tear filled eyes you say I'll
 see them again that's when faith steps in
 when you take your last breath in this world down here
 and you close your eyes without any fear
 that's when faith steps in
 faith will carry you where feet have never trod,
 safely to heaven into the arms of god
 when you open your eyes to that
 heavenly scene and you realize it isn't a dream
 that's when faith will end
 when you gaze on him face to face and you rest in his sweet embrace
 that's when faith will end
 oh that's when faith will end.
