Story Behind Song
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1, King James Version).
I have had countless conversations about why I believe in Christ. While we have free will to choose to live our lives as we see fit, I have found the evidence supports Jesus came, died and He was resurrected. I accept Christ as my personal savior. I believe my eternity is secure and I will spend it with Jesus. Christianity is the only religion where you don’t have to “earn” something. Christ gave Himself to us as a gift. All we have to do is accept it. I don’t want to argue with anyone, this is what I believe. It was due to one of these conversations I wrote “Unshakable Faith” as my testimony.
Non-Biblical Credibility
Did you stop think that when Christ died, time stopped and the way we measure time started over with 1 A.D. According to Biblical Archaeology, Non-biblical sources also testify to Jesus such as writings from: Roman Senator Cornelius Tacitus, Jewish Historian Josephus, Greek Satirist Lucian of Samosata, Celsus the Platonist philosopher, Roman Governor Pleny the Younger, Roman writer Suetonius to mention just a few. There are more than 24,000 partial and complete manuscript copies of the New Testament. No other work from antiquity comes anywhere near that number. The average secular work from antiquity survives on only a handful of manuscripts. At about 250 ancient manuscripts Plato doesn’t even come close in comparison to biblical manuscripts yet, no one questions the ancient Philosopher’s writings. If you think I am making this up I challenge you to do your own research.
A Case for Christ
One person did their own research and the results were astounding! Maybe you have heard of Lee Strobel, an atheist turned Christian. The former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune set out to put an end to the debate when his wife Leslie became a Christian. Lee researched for himself putting his degree in Journalism to the work of a lifetime.
Bent on proving his point and putting the matter to rest once an for all, he traveled to historical sites, scoured ancient documents and completed his own investigation. His findings were so stunning and compelling that as a result, Lee converted to Christianity. Because the eyewitness accounts (biblical and non-biblical), the archaeology, and the ancient prophesies about Jesus now fulfilled are too solid for an educated, fact-finder to ignore. Lee could no longer believe God is not real.
Unshakable Faith is Good Enough for Me
Yes, you can believe in what you want but I know what I have seen God do for me. I know what He has brought me through, God and God alone. It’s like being in love you know how you feel but you can’t really see it. You feel the wind blow but do you see it? How do you know tomorrow the sun will still rise? Through faith God will see us through anything. We take so much for granted and yet He does so much for us that we don’t even see. I have seen His miracles, I can testify to His goodness and I will stand in my own faith and share his message to anyone willing to listen.
Lyrics
(Intro Spoken)
Faith the substance of things hoped for,
The evidence of things not seen,
But without faith it is impossible to please God.
(Verse 1)
When I think of all the people who laughed in my face,
They claim there is no God, so how can their be faith?
I tried to argue and tell them how faith has set me free.
But God gave us free will, I can only pray they see.
(Chorus)
Unshakable faith – can move a mountain out of sight.
Unshakable faith will bring the darkness into light.
So believe in what you want.
I will believe in what I’ve seen.
For faith that’s unshakable is surely unsinkable!
Unshakable faith is good enough for me!
(Verse 2)
So when I look back on the things,
that I have been through,
If it weren’t for my faith,
I wouldn’t be singing this song for you.
The times it started out wrong,
through faith it turned out alright.
Believe me when I say,
Faith will keep you in His sight.
(Chorus)
Unshakable faith – can move a mountain out of sight.
Unshakable faith will bring the darkness into light.
So believe in what you want.
I will believe in what I’ve seen.
For faith that’s unshakable is surely unsinkable!
Unshakable faith is good enough for me!
(Bridge)
Faith has moved the mountains, turned the water into wine.
Faith made the lame to walk healed the sick and the blind.
Faith has raised the dead and knocked down the walls.
Faith calmed the stormy seas and opened ears to God’s calls.
Faith will lead us to the Promised Land.
And close the mouths in the lion’s dens.
Faith has conquered kingdoms and quenched the fiery flames
Unshakable faith today will still do the same.
Unshakable faith, Unshakable faith, Unshakable faith!
(Solo Bridge)
So tell me, tell me,
how do you know tomorrow the sun will rise?
And how do you know your new baby will open her eyes?
(Chorus)
Unshakable faith – can move a mountain out of sight.
Unshakable faith will bring the darkness into light.
So believe in what you want.
I will believe in what I’ve seen.
For faith that’s unshakable is surely unsinkable!
Unshakable faith is good enough for me!
(End Tag)
Unshakable faith is good enough for me! (repeat)
Yea, yea, yea!
