Faith Is a Powerful Thing
Faith is a well-trodden path,
Affording a sanctuary to the troubled hearts,
In the depth of your soul you'll find peace;
Tattered souls, bruised hearts, disturbed minds,
Healed by the simple act of believing.
In His infinite wisdom He created the Universe,
Save this wretched little corner in my mind,
Asking questions, fostering doubts!
Pour unto my heart the Elixir of Eternal Life,
O, my Lord, my Benefactor,
Walk with me through these troubled times,
Erring ways of mine you kindly forgive,
Restore in me the willingness to accept the truth,
Forgive me my trespasses,
Until Thy Kingdom come,
Lead me not into temptation.
Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
Hallowed be Thy name,
I am Thy lost sheep and Thou my Good Shepard,
Now, let me not wander astray,
Getting down on my knees to Thee I pray!
For Mystic Rose "Faith is a powerful thing" contest.
