Abide These Three - 1
1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Faith is the answer to our heart’s prayers
For a reason to breath inspiration through
The soul who longs for more than words
More than deeds – more than mere dreams
The soul who yearns for a strength and peace
That comes from listening to the Holy Spirit
Whispering faith into our hearts and souls
Hope is the answer to our fears of failure
The ones that cause us to worry and agonize
Over things we can’t control, change or trade’
For better things like happiness, joy and inspiration
Hues of heavenly grace that exceeds our expectations
For a light that would shine through the night
Dancing in reflections of gentle hope that beckons
Love is the answer to our spiritual suspicions
The ones that erase our laughter and smiles
Find a way to paint darkness across our lives
Finally, love brings to life the assurance that it
Can warm the coldest heart with feelings of serenity
Enlighten the cloudy doubts and encourage souls
To believe in the One who lived and died for love
These three,… faith, hope and love – were sent to us
On a promise from above that we would be given
All we need to live our lives in unison with His voice
Recognizing the joy that comes from always listening
To the One who created us and makes life worthwhile
Giving us the sensitivity to enjoy His love with a smile
Of thanks and praise which rises from the humble heart
