193 Faith

193.

Faith



Oh God, for I'm someone under authority

Having lords and soldiers over me

I shall put my faith on them and Thee



Eventhough I am not worthy of care

For I am a person so simple and bare

Almost having nothing precious to share



I'm so lowly, the heavens are far

Can't even afford to buy a toy car

To move up and move on is easy to bar



Only in dreams I can reach so high

It's there where I have seen myself fly

Pillows of clouds they don't deny



But here in real life situation

People experience utter desperation

Others even die out of negation



Yet however dark is the night

If in our hearts we have this might

We shall perceive the saving light



Oh God, I should have this faith within me

Though of Thy grace I'm not so worthy

I just continue to pray to Thee.
