Blind Faith

II Corinthians 5:7

Being therefore always of good courage,
We are at home in the body and knowledge;
Far too often we are absent from the Lord,
Just being sidetracked rather than ignored;
But, we walk by faith rather than by sight,
For many times we are blinded by the light;
I remind myself in being of good bravery,
And be willing to be absent from the body;
For to be at home with the Lord instead,
Nourishment from His Word I will be fed;
Our courage comes from the Lord God,
Whom we worship and praise and applaud;
Often in this world at such a hectic pace,
A tendency to even forget to say grace;
It is not that we are ignoring our creator,
Sometimes there can be a louder emulator;
We tend to forget that faith is just blind,
And not always clearly heard in our mind;
What we see at times can be so deceiving,
Then misleads and makes us misbelieving.
