WHAT IS FAITH





WHAT IS FAITH?

IS IT A CREEPY FEELING IN YOUR MIND,
THAT KEEPS YOU FRANTIC ALL NIGHT,
OR IS IT A WORRYING OBCESSION,
THAT ROCKETS ENDLESSLY OUT OF SIGHT?

IS IT AN INDEFINITE PAINFUL WONDERING,
OF WHAT TRAGEDY WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT,
OR PERHAPS A FEELING “ WITH “ SHAWDOWS OF DOUBT,
THE FEELING OF FOREVER, NEVER BEING BLESSED?

IS IT A COMMITTEE CHANTING IN YOUR HEAD,
THAT CHATTERS INCESANTLY ALL NIGHT LONG,
OR IS IT THE ECHOING TREACHEROUS WORDS,
OF SOME SINISTER REPLAYING SONG?

IS IT YOUR RUTHLESS SUBCONSCIOUS,
JUST NIGHTMARE DREAMING THROUGHOUT THE DAY,
WIELDING ITS POWERFUL AND DEVASTATING PRESCENCE,
WHILE WITH YOU IT DOES TORTUREOUSLY PLAY?

PERHAPS IF YOU KNEEL ON YOUR KNEES,
AND PRAY TO THE ONE ABOVE,
YOU WILL FEEL THE INNER PEACE,
SYMBOLICLY REPRESENTED ON EARTH BY THE DOVE.

YOU WILL COME TO KNOW A NEW LIFE,
BETTER THEN YOU COULD EVER HAVE THOUGHT,
BUILDING FAITH THROUGH WORKS,
YOUR FAITH CANNOT BE BOUGHT.

LIVING THROUGH EACH DAY,
DOING WHAT YOU CAN,
NOT THINKING OF YOURSELF,
BUT, WHAT CAN I DO FOR ANOTHER MAN?

THIS IS FAITH, MAY YOU FIND IT NOW,
THE MIRACLE NEVER CEASES TO EXIST,
BUT REMEMBER PLEASE YOU MUST EARN IT,
FOR IT CAN NEVER BE WISHED.

THE WAY TO GIVE THIS PRECIOUS GIFT,
IS TO KEEP ON GIVING IT AWAY,
THE GIFT SO FREELY GIVEN TO YOU,
A GIFT IN WHICH YOU NEVER HAVE TO PAY.

THE COST IS HONESTY FROM WITHIN YOURSELF,
AND IT BUILDS A BRIDGE TO A BROAD NEW HIGHWAY,
WALKING HAND IN HAND WITH YOUR MAKER GOD,
DO NOT TRY TO KEEP IT, JUST KEEP GIVING IT AWAY.

SELFLESSNESS, WILL BRING IT BACK,
EVEN GREATER THEN BEFORE,
GOD HAS AND ENDLESS SUPPLY OF THIS GIFT,
THERE IS ABUNDANTLY MORE IN STORE.
