Belief

"Lord, I do believe!
Please, help my unbelief!"
Thus prayed the father,
Whose son needed relief.

His son, his only child,
Needed to be set free,
From the spirit who possessed him,
And caused such misery.

Jesus said, "All things are possible,
To you if you believe."
Then he cast the spirit from the boy,
And brought him to his feet.

They went away rejoicing,
Praising God for what he'd done,
Restoring faith to the doubting father,
And the healing of his son.
