Faith of Yesterday

As Peter saw his Master 
Walking on the sea 
He had no doubt that he could go 
As his Master bid come to Me 

But as the wind began to blow 
And the boat begin to sway 
He took his eyes off Jesus 
And satan stole his faith away 

What happened to the faith 
We had of long ago 
When the only proof we needed 
Was when Jesus told us so 

If we keep our eyes on Jesus 
Our faith will never fade away 
What happened to the faith we had 
The faith of yesterday

True write for all we need is to keep our eyes on Jesus but sometimes it is easier said than done. Keep the faith poems flowing. Sara
