Faith led Noah to hear, When God warned him about; The things that he may fear, The future that he doubt. But he obeyed and built, A ship to save his kin; Everyone with guilt, Would merely drown in sin. Faith had led Abraham, To heed a call from God; Not for giving a lamb, Rather his son unflawed. He left his own nation, For an inheritance; A promised elation, Because of penitence. He had lived in a tent, As Isaac and Jacob; Who also did repent, Watched over by cherub. He looked for the city, That God designed and built; So shiny and pretty, That will be free from guilt. Faith endowed him to be, A father at his age; Of a son for to see, At such of a late stage. And to think that his wife, At her age giving birth; A child in her life, The oldest on the earth. Having faith when they died, The promise not received; But knew God never lied, Homeward bound they believed. Once this life has ended, Their spirit continues; And will be transcended, Onto His avenues. Copyright © 2016 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
