Lyrics

Not by Sight

Verse 1

There are days I can't see the way,
Storm clouds rise, and the sky turns gray.
But Your promise, Lord, still lights my path,
And I hold to Your word when I can't look back.
They told me doubt was just being real,
But faith taught me to trust what I can't feel.
Though the mountains stand in my way,
I move 'em, Lord--when I just obey.

Chorus

(Choir) Not by sight... (Not by sight!)
(Lead) I believe in what You said, not what I see tonight.
(Choir) Not by sight... (Not by sight!)

(Lead) Though I stumble, Lord, I'm walking in the light.
(Choir) Faith is the key!
(Lead) And Your Word is my fight--
(All) I'm standing strong, not by sight!

Verse 2

Every tear I've cried, You've stored away,
Every prayer I prayed, You heard me say.
And in the silence, You were still near,
Even when Your answer didn't appear.
I've seen doors shut right in my face,
But Your Spirit whispered, "This ain't the place."
And now I thank You for the no's I got,
'Cause what You gave me later, the world could not.

Chorus

(Choir) Not by sight... (Not by sight!)
(Lead) I'm trusting in the promise, not just in the fight.
(Choir) Not by sight... (Not by sight!)
(Lead) You never failed me, Lord, not once in my life.
(Choir) Faith is the key!
(Lead) And Your Word is my might--
(All) I'm holding on, not by sight!

Bridge

When the doctor said "no," (I still said "yes")
When the job closed the door, (You gave me rest)
When the storm hit my house, (You calmed the sea)
And You said, "Child, just believe in Me!"

(Choir) Not by sight... (Not by sight!)
(Lead) Every step I take is covered in Your might!
(Choir) Not by sight... (Not by sight!)
(Lead) I'm holding on through the darkest night!
(Choir) Faith is the key!
(Lead) And I live in Your light--
(All) I made it through, not by sight!

Outro

(Lead) I'm walking...
(Choir) Not by sight!
(Lead) Believing...
(Choir) Not by sight!
(Lead) I'm standing...
(Choir) Not by sight!
(Lead) Trusting...
(Choir) Not by sight!
(All - final hold)
I live by faith... and not... by... sight!
