Salvation According To Faith

SALVATION ACCORDING TO FAITH “Help, help!”, I shout out loud, in fear. ‘HELP, HELP!’, echoes of my voice I hear. Over and over, impinge in my mind Closer and closer, it gets so near. Louder and louder my cries, my plea Further and further they go from me… ……they’re gone. Silence now reigns, it deafens me Panic has broken and overtakes me Faster and faster my pulse is raised Harder and harder the pounding, the beat. Tighter and tighter I clutch my head Greater and greater, the feeling of dread. ……I’m lost. “Why? Why?” I asked the mirthless grass “Speak, speak!” I bark at mirrored glass Angrier and angrier, my voice phonate Wilder and wilder, my eyes gyrate Darker and darker my thoughts evoke Uglier and uglier my moods provoke …..I weep. 'Non Compos Mentis' is my best state of mind 'Caveat Emptor'!! …as I cannot be kind Nastier and nastier I’m down in the dumps? Lower and lower I’m in the doldrums? Crazier and crazier, I spit at my shadow Weaker and weaker, …my life is so shallow! ….I pray! “Come, come”, to only You I turn. “Come, come”, my life is so forlorn. Dearer and dearer my love for God Stronger and stronger, my body, my soul Forever and ever my faith shall hold Redeemer, redeeming, The Lord God of old. ….I’m saved. (The Fg 81.5.8)
