Find Us Faithful

By Jon Mohr

(Special thanks to Charles Reid for singing this at the 50th Anniversary, May 30, 2020 event. This was Chuck’s first performance of this piece. I was honored that he learned this piece for my celebration.)

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.

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 through Godly lives.

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.

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone,

And our children sift through all we’ve left behind,

May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover

become the light that leads them to the road we each must find.

O may all who come being 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.
