Faith"Rejoice always.Pray without ceasing.In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." 1Thessalonians5:16-18 "So that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." 1 Corinthians 2:5 ""…They called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith..."Acts 14:27 When prayers make their way Like halos of smoke as they arise Faith thrives and stays For the Son of Man called Christ. Hands prayerful, knees bent Great Splendor immersed in the multitude Minds believe, hearts repent Before Our Rock of fortitude. We see His glory descending from above Jesus, the Lamb of God Experience the wonders of His love And feel His peace that makes us glad Wicks lighted, incense burned The faithfuls lead Christ's victory procession The Man that was spurned Has cleansed our transgressions We may have the patience of Simon of Cyrene As we bear each other's cross We may have the humility of Mary Magdalene As we understand each other's loss From the altars to the streets, And upon households Singing souls meet An act of faith, an act of love unfolds.
