Faith Greater Than Gold
A faith that overcomes all things
what price is that faith’s value?
indeed a faith that moves mountains
such a prize thus a golden brew
If you had a pot full of glistening gold
for the trials of life coming your way
it simply would only grow all the less
pulling your heart whatever you say
Faith is your real requirement
for it will prosper as it grows
which comes by facing afflictions
head on not flinching so it goes
Established being set right in it’s place
so faith increases through much afflictions
giving a power to move on in strength
as it meets hardships despite restrictions
So treasure your faith more and more
even gold doesn’t come near compare
so point your faith on God alone
abiding in Him your constant prayer
(‘Gold does not increase through trial by fire, it grows less, but faith is established and multiplied by the afflictions it meets with’ . - Matthew Henry (1662-1714))
