Where is my faith Lord
Where is my faith
If I bring You my mountains
Will they be removed
If I bring my hills to climb
Will I walk them in my prime
Where is my faith Lord
Where is my faith
 
Where is my faith Lord
Where is my faith
If I bring You my valleys
Will they be made flat
If I bring the depths to see
Will my pride shout to thee
Where is my faith Lord
Where is my faith
 
Where is my faith Lord
Where is my faith
If I bring to You my hope
Will my assurance be strong
If the end I do not see
Will I learn to trust in Thee
Where is my faith Lord
Where is my faith

I can't see You
But I know Your there
I can't see You
But I know You care
I can't see You
But I do not dare
Not praise Your name Lord
Not praise Your name
 
Trust and Obey
For theirs no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey.

Our faith and  praise to the Father go hand-in-hand. It was by faith we were saved (Ephesians 2:8-9), and is by our praise that we have fellowship with the Father. And in turn, He will faithfully attend to our spiritual desires (Psalm 37:4).

True praise-praise with an active faith that is greater than only emotion-is a daring thing. It challenges us to leave old paths of the human heart behind and reach for something beyond ourselves, that is giving ourselves up to God by faith.

You see, true praise is the language of heaven. Someday we'll all speak it fluently, but for now we just have to result to continual practice. God never leaves us where we are. With every effort of praise, we draw nearer to Him and He to us (James 4:8). Please take a moment and study on these verses of praise.

The Lord is my strength-(Exodus 15:2-3, 6-7)

He keep His promises-(1 Kings 8:23)

His majestic fills the earth- Psalm 8:1-2)

I will praise Him with all my heart-(Psalm9:1-2)

He is always  with me-(Psalm 16:7-11)

He hears my cries-(Psalm22:22-24)

His unfailing love- Psalm 36:5-9)

I give praise to His promises((Psalm 56:9-11,13

Only He satisfies- (Psalm 63:1-8)

Yes, God's word commands us praise him, as these scripture verses point out in the imperative. In other words, it is essential that as true believers, that we praise our Creator. And His word makes it clear that the more we praise Him, the more we discover what we really long for, His eternal love (Psalm 63:1-8)

 One closing thought. We can never thank Him enough, for what He has done for us (Ephesians 1:18).  Don't ever forget it (Luke 17:17).
