Fervent Glory

In a world of reason and control,

There lies a man with a passionate soul.

He asks for healing from a distant land,

With a faith so strong, only God can understand.

His servant is sick, his heart is in pain,

But he believes in miracles, not in vain.

He trusts in the power of a simple word,

And his faith in the impossible is truly absurd.

But Jesus sees his heart, filled with conviction,

And praises his faith, with deep admiration.

For in a world of doubt and disbelief,

This man's faith in the impossible is a beacon of relief.

So let us learn from this centurion's story,

And embrace our faith, with fervent glory.

For in the face of the unknown and unseen,

It is faith that gives us strength, serene and keen. ("Fervent Glory") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
