Faith Is a Powerful Thing
Faith is a powerful thing,
As true believers can aver.
I learned this at my mother's knee.
The lessons taught by her
Have stayed with me for life.
In good times and in bad.
Sometimes I've strayed away
And faith of Mom and Dad
Protected me from this world's wiles.
On other days, remembering
Wonder of their love and smiles,
Enabled me to find way through
Rueful, and sometimes lonely, miles.
Forever grateful, I
Unbeaten by my woes
Live on with certain faith
That my faithful God is close.
He guides and guards me every day
In sunshine or in rain.
No matter if I fall,
God is there to ease my pain.
