Faith is such a great gift to man

We often see it like a span

The time man spend to recollect

And wonder at the hardship met

Faith does not work like that you know

It is trusting when no way is seen

Believing when it is just a dream

Longing when there is only hope

Holding when there is nowhere to grope

The faith which comes down from above

Works best when your heart is full of love

It holds out when there seems no hope

It lifts you up from feeling down

Pats you when you are inclined to frown

With faith no one can undermine

The secrets of God’s love divine

For sunshine can be turned to rain

And rain to sunshine for your gain

So with faith no one is ever lame

Practice faith while there is time

For patience is a virtue well defined

So often we just cannot wait

We want to barge in through the gate

But eternity is gained only by faith

Faith is defined in patriarch’s time

And Hebrews eleven has it well refined

So at some time just look and you’ll find

In that book clearly it was all on His mind

That you and me could in faith recline

Be faithful like those who have gone on before

So with the Saviour like them you can adore

The blue print declares with faith you must wait

Your Saviour you’ll meet don’t be late

He will greet you as you enter the gate
