Favourable Faith

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

***************

Faith, trusting, believing

And to God praises sing

Not solely from head nor from heart

But balanced in each part

 

It not be visible

Not as material

But faith in the gospel, we saved

For Christ the way has paved

 

Not trusting to our own

Christ saves, and He alone

The Way, Truth, Life, He does atone

And makes God to us known

 

Faith as a gift He gives

Who believes ever lives

We bring all to you Lord, your way

Sure leads to lasting day

            No don't thank me - it's all there. 'Seek and ye shall find' - Matthew 7.7, King Jim's version.

            Faith, trust, belief, confidence in all are pretty much lacking these days and I remember a time that it wasn't so. Good write Orchi.
