HOW STRONG YOUR FAITH
WHY DOES YOUR FAITH SO UNDULATE
WHEN GOD DECIDES THAT YOU SHOULD WAIT?
OR IF YOUR PLEA HE DOES DENY,
WHY DO YOU QUESTION HIS REPLY?
WHEN GOD GIVES ALL THAT PLEASES YOU,
YOUR FAITH IN GOD YOU THEN RENEW.
BUT WHEN ALL DOES NOT COME YOUR WAY,
YOUR FAITH AGAIN BEGINS TO SWAY.
IF GOD GIVES NOT WHAT YOU DICTATE,
YOUR FAITH BEGINS TO OSCILLATE.
IT SEEMS THAT YOUR FAITH ONLY GROWS
WHEN YOUR NEEDS GOD ONLY BESTOWS.
EACH TIME YOU HAVE AN URGENT NEED,
YOU ASK FOR ME TO INTERCEDE.
BUT WHEN GOD DOES NOT ALL PROVIDE,
AGAIN YOUR FAITH SEEMS TO SUBSIDE.
IF YOU STEP FORWARD THAN STEP BACK,
YOU WILL NOT GAIN WHAT YOU STILL LACK.
IF ONE STEP TOWARDS GOD YOU CAN’T GAIN,
THEN ALL YOUR EFFORTS ARE IN VAIN.
IF YOUR FAITH TRULY IS SINCERE,
THAN WHAT GOD WILLS YOU WILL REVERE
AND HAVE THEN NO OTHER RECOURSE
BUT TO STAY ON GOD’S CHARTED COURSE.
