Faith

Faith

Eternal spark,
embedded deep
in mortal flesh and bone.
Since ages dark
‘neath clouds of time,
it’s power ever known.

The inner touch of Living God
which turns our path astray,
from Self within,
from carnal sin,
faith bids us look away.

Faith calls us to our sense of Spirit
beyond what mortal eyes perceive.
Past fleshy bonds of carnal senses,
to that which only hearts believe.

Faith casts it’s shadow over time.
It clears the path of history,
to chart the course which men will climb
enroute to greater destiny.

With faith in heart we reach beyond
the chains of mortal strife
to touch the Holy face of God,
where lies eternal life.

The evidence of things unseen,
the substance of our living trust.
Faith imbues the space between
the God we seek and earthly dust.

Hebrews 11:1
