Song Story:
“Faithful” is a song I wrote & presented at our church’s 8th anniversary in 2021 – in fact, it was the first song I wrote that I ever sang in front of anybody, ever since I started writing in early 2020.
Fast forward 2 years later, as we were conceptualising ‘Finding the Remnant’ & thinking about a musical theme for it, we instantly knew it would be “Faithful”. Its message somehow described perfectly the journey of Remnant in this movie – his steadfastness toward God through rejection & despair, eventually rewarded with the hope and comfort of knowing that many ‘saints have walked this narrow way before’, and what he desires can come true.
To be honest I actually don’t know why I wrote this song. This song did not come from any of my personal experiences. Only God knows if I was just meant to write a theme song for a movie that would only come out 2 years afterwards.
But I hope that perhaps, this song will meet some pilgrim out there, weary & alone on a journey to find a glory he has heard but never seen. I pray it reminds them, and us all, that our faithfulness may cost us in the present, but it is all worth it in eternity. Let us live out our days on earth for that day, we pray, we will hear our Master say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Lyrics:
Lord the path I am walking on is lonely
On the road to a Kingdom human eyes can’t see
A stranger to the world, who just won’t understand
Why I won’t choose a better way to live
I heard the promise of eternal glory
And I gave up everything for that which I believed
Devoted I may be, the suffering won’t cease
And I wonder if it’s really worth this hard
When the world doesn’t know a single thing I’ve done
Would I count it a joy or take it as a loss
When my faith’s failing me, and the end is hard to see
Will my heart be faithful, will my heart be faithful to You?
But I recall what life used to be before this
I was wretched and blind until You came for me
And even when I fell, to my old sinful ways
Your faithfulness just wouldn’t go away
When I think of the goodness You have poured on me
How could I not respond by giving everything?
Even though my flesh is weak, to bear the cost of suffering
I want to be faithful, help me to be faithful to You
When I lose heart, will You hold me in Your arms?
When day turns dark, will You give light?
When I can’t help but doubt, thinking I should give up
Will You remind me of the joy that comes?
One day I will wake up from my sleeping
And see the saints who have walked this narrow way before
Cheering on with joy, for I have won the race
And I’ll realise it all was not in vain
For I will see with my eyes the One who rescued me
I will see His delight, for now He has His Bride
A crown of life on my head, I will hear Him proudly say
“Well done good & faithful, thank you for being faithful to Me”
So now on earth, I will rise and run toward the prize
Unto death I will go to do the will of Christ
Giving all for that day, when I’ll stand to hear You say
“Well done good & faithful, thank you for being faithful to Me”
So I will be faithful, God I will be faithful to You
