When Courage Faithfully Flies

When Courage Faithfully Flies (Double Sonnets)(Lin 678) Where man's soul and brave heart meets hope sends great power there to save Life from death that often cheats the weak that could be so brave When faith filled prayer saves man truth comes forth and regains Happiness- life and love plans absent the dirty stains Where man's soul and brave heart meets hope sends great power there to save Life from death that often cheats the weak that could be so brave Look to heaven for its power Man knows not his last day or hour *** *** *** Your loyal words of faith fly To heart that death so often cheats With loss that makes her soul sigh In painful hopeless heartbeats Could the weak again be brave When faith does not remain? Heaven's truth descends to save And cleanse sin's darkened stain. Your loyal words of faith fly To heart that life so often cheats With loss that makes her soul sigh In painful hopeless heartbeats Heart now so brave finds new power New hope gives courage in this hour.
