Faith

Let go of the anger
Let go of the pain
Kneel & pray
Tell me to go away.

Temptation is hard
Not easy to ignore
Have faith in God 
Know I give you all my love.

Let go of the world
Let go of your needs
Let go of all material things.

What you gain
Is what you lose
What you lose
Is what you gain.

Take what grace God has given you
Do what's right with all your might
What makes us what we are
Is a mixture of good & evil.

Gaze upon dreams of you & I
Listen to choir of angels singing
With your heart still beating
And your doubts retrieving 
Back into the dark
Leaving us without a mark.

a great poem, the Lord promises if we ask anything in his name and believe it is true so it shall be, if we have faith as small as a mustard seed we can move mountains through our Lord Jesus, God bless you from diane
