When Faith Becomes Sight

WHEN FAITH BECOMES SIGHT Through the Glass Dimly, Until We See His Face [Verse 1 — The Lamb] In Gethsemane, beneath our weight of sin, The spotless Lamb bore all our guilt and shame. The cup of suffering trembled in His hand: “Not Mine, but Thine”—He chose the Father’s plan. They offered wine to dull the pain He bore; He turned away—to trust His Father more. Though darkness hid the Father from His sight, He held by faith when heaven veiled its light. [Chorus 1 — Into Thy Hands] “Into Thy hands My spirit I commend”— Though He could not see, He trusted to the end. So into Your hands, O Father, I will rest; When I cannot see, I know Your way is best. Though feelings fail and darkness hides the light, Your Word stands sure—the just shall live by faith. Now through the glass, so dimly I may see; Yet faithful is the One who promised me. [Verse 2 — The Second Death] “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” He felt the separation caused by sin; The second death cast darkness on His way, Yet faith held fast when sight had passed away. He could not see beyond the waiting grave, Yet trusted still the Father who could save. “It is finished!”—then, faithful to the end: “Into Thy hands My spirit I commend.” [Verse 3 — Two Cups] The world still offers cups to ease our pain, A little compromise for earthly gain; But Babylon pours wine that clouds the mind, While Satan prowls to make the watchful blind. So watch and pray; be sober, stand awake; Do not trade truth for comfort’s fleeting sake. Choose faithfulness though suffering may come— For temporary night gives way to dawn. [Chorus 2 — The Faith of Jesus] Here is the patience of the saints of God: They keep His Word though hard may be the road. They hold the faith of Jesus through the night, And trust His Word when nothing seems aright. No earthly threat can make their faith depart; His law is written deeply in the heart. Though all the world may say that hope is gone, They know the faithful One will lead them home. [Verse 4 — The Remnant] When Michael stands, His priestly work is done, The final hour of trouble will have come. God’s faithful remnant then will firmly stand— No Intercessor—yet within His hand. Though they may feel that Jesus is not near, “I’m with you always” answers every fear. Like Jacob through the darkness they hold fast; They trust His Word until the trial is past. [Climax & Appeal — When Faith Becomes Sight] He faced the death where sinners rise no more, Yet placed His spirit in the Father’s care! So drink not Babylon’s cup for fleeting ease— HOLD FAST TO CHRIST! STAY SOBER! WATCH AND PRAY! Now through the glass we see Him dimly still— Trust in His heart when you can’t trace His will! NOW WE BELIEVE—BUT SOON OUR EYES SHALL SEE! THEN FACE TO FACE—OUR FAITH SHALL TURN TO SIGHT! Lyrics by Zeres Vitto © 2026 Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved.
