FAITH

"THE peace that passeth all understanding,"  
Lord I seek not, I need only the voice  
Of Thy true Faith authentic as I sing.  
In my weak heart, so that I can rejoice  
Within my soul. For if I can hold on  
To Faith in Thee, no other things will count!  
I know that I must face my God alone,  
Though meddlers think their meddling plans amount

To aught in this new life to which I turn,
Scrambling like kids where angels fear to tread!
Oh Lord, there's yet so vastly much to learn:
For Faith is Knowledge, Truth is just ahead,
And also right behind and present now!
Alive like flowers upon the springtime bough.
