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.
