PRAYER OF FAITH


PRAYER OF FAITH
God is my help in every need,
God does my every hunger feed,
God walks beside me- guides my
way
Through every moment Of the day.
I now am wise, I now am true,
Patient kind and loving too;
All thing l am, can do and be
Through Christ and Truth that is
in me.
God is my health l can't be sick,
God is my strength, unfailing, quick.
God is my all, l know no fear
Since God and love and truth are
here.
We dedicate this poem to Mrs,
Mary Harrell who is a shut-in at
the Fairview hospital and the pa
tients in her ward. May it inspire
and console them as it has the
writer many times.
