The Faithful One
Selah's song 'The Faithful One' is a worship ballad about trusting God's faithfulness through personal weakness and hardship. The lyrics express a journey of pressing on despite fear and uncertainty, finding comfort in God's unwavering presence. It references Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, emphasizing the empty tomb as the foundation of hope. The song culminates in a vision of eternal worship before God's throne. It draws on themes of faith, perseverance, and gratitude for God's steadfast love.
I find no hope within to call my own
For I am frail of heart, my strength is gone
But deep within my soul is rising up a song
Here in the comfort of the faithful one
I walk a narrow road through valleys deep
In search of higher ground, on mountains steep
And though with feet unsure, I still keep pressing on.
For I am guided by the faithful one.
Faithful, faithful to the end,
My true and precious friend,
You have been faithful,
Faithful, so faithful to me
I see your wounded hands, I touch your side
With thorns upon your brow you bled and died
But there's an empty tomb, a love for all who come
And give their hearts to you, the faithful one.
Faithful, faithful to the end,
My true and precious friend,
You have been faithful,
Faithful, so faithful to me
And when the day is dawned and when the race is run
I will bow down before God's only Son
And I will lift my hands in praise for all you've done
And I will worship you, my faithful one.
