The essence of our spirituality rests 
On having plenary faith in the Lord.
Who are we without an omnipotent force 
In our day-to-day existence?
When we find ourselves broken 
Who do we turn to for reconstruction?
Or when the sun deserts the sky
And days hang over us like a brooding cloud?
How do we find a guiding light in the darkness?
How do we move a mountain without faith?
What is the measure
 Of our spiritual development?
The essence of that development
Is having steadfast faith in the Lord,
Fully surrendering to a power 
Much greater than ourselves.
By simply believing that God is
Our savior; the Alpha and Omega
Who sent only his begotten son 
To die for our sins, only then 
Do we earn the key to his kingdom.
Developing and maintaining 
A relationship with God is essential.
He works for and through us.
He does for us all the things
Impossible for us to do ourselves.
He unfailingly fills the spiritual hole 
We created in our souls, gratis;
As long as we believe in him,
And follow him.
