Peace comes by acceptance
 Knowing that we belong 
 Because we have a faith 
 That makes us grow strong
  
 With faith we step ahead 
 And keep on going 
 Because when times are tough
 There is no slowing
  
 Step ahead on this walk 
 God will work it out 
 The details will come
 And remove all doubt
  
 As prove to our minds 
 What the eyes can’t see
 Faith will enter in
 To show what we can be
  
 We build momentum
 In what we’re becoming
 With faith in the promise
 Of what is forthcoming
