Faith

Faith

Tempered, calmed

Iron wrought to sound

Melts to Thy heat of Love

And hardens to banish doubts rebound

Have I Lord, given Thee my heart?

Have I Lord, been brought to You?

Have I Lord, been claimed for paradise?

For I feel it through and through

In this Earth, I am set apart

And yet called to be One with my fellowmen

Have I Lord been bought for heaven?

For surely, my heart, it is Peace

And Lord, 'tis true,

In people, I see

Your will in me

A kindness seeps through the soul 

By and by...

Merciful,

Thank You for this gift...

This faith for a doubtful heart

Let me share it then 

With my brethren

The Love it is borne from

And may You, Lord

Never take it away

For without faith, 

Without Love...

My soul shall crumble 

In coldness

Let me then die for Love

Let me then die for You...
