Increase Our Faith, O Lord
"… for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed,
you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move;
and nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).
Increase Our Faith, O Lord
"… for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed,
you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move;
and nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).
1. Increase our faith, O Lord!
We look to You today.
Remind us of Your Word and pow'r,
Come stir our hearts to pray.
2. Look down on us in love,
Draw near us in this place.
With confidence, we come in Christ
To seek the throne of grace.
3. Because we do not ask,
We often lack what's good.
If we would only look to God
And trust Him as we should!
4. Our faith, it seems so small,
Yet You, Lord, are so great!
So help us bring petitions large,
In You we trust and wait.
5. If we but had the faith,
Small as a mustard seed,
Then we would see the mountains move
For God has power indeed.
6. There's nothing that's too hard,
No good thing He'll withhold.
So let us bring our prayers in faith,
We cannot be too bold.
7. Look down with mercy, Lord
And hear the prayers we raise,
That we might see Your power displayed
And offer thanks and praise.
