everything I learned about surviving was wrong, life skills
taught backward where did mom go wrong?
trying to teach myself had me lost, but now following
God I'm right where I belong.
I thank him now for my ancestors bloodshed and my
tears.... struggling to understand life all these year.
thank u lord god for answering my pleads.
even when I was control freak and didn't believe.
your faith in me has strengthened my faith in u.
I SAY WITH FULL FAITH IN REPAIRING MY LIFE, THE
VICTORY IS MINE BECAUSE I NOW KNOW I HAVE U.
Always keep the faith
For it is faith that shall set you free
Even in the darkness of the night
It is faith that allows the blind to see
Nurture your faith
Allowing it to grow stronger everyday
The wonders of His love
Will help to show of the way
For it is with Him and in Him,
The unity of the spirit shall shine so bright
Bringing hope to all of man
Giving strength to fight the fight
Demons will come and demons will go
But in the end He will stand so tall
For it is our faith in Him
That allows us to answer to His call
He gives us all the wisdom we need
And grants us the power to understand
All we need do is pray to Him
And He will give to us His hand
He is the guiding light
In a world full of so much darkness
He is the only one
That can make this all make sense
So have faith in Him
And He will never cast you away
And live walking in His footsteps
For He is the way
The End
By Greg P
What do you do when
Your faith is stretched
To the limit
Do you run into
The ocean hoping
For a reprieve
A respite from your world
As you know it
Or do you simply
Open your heart to
The All Knowing
Maker of all things
As amazing as
These cooling waters
That soothe your soul
When the sky darkens
Look up anyway
When the chill
Seeps into the very
Pores of you
Believe that He
Will bundle you
And rock you in
The bosom of comfort
Let faith be your beacon
And you will be
Well guided
The ups and downs of life
Can not be cut with a knife
When the rope is pulled to drag
You down when your trying to balance both
When times are hard we try to stay a float
With out braking the bank
So we start to cut corners
Keep what we need sell what can buy
Food to the soul to keep going
Strong turn to your faith
To the hands that will pull you out
No matter what no matter how
He is there to see us threw
When in thought turn to the one
Who knows you before you wore
In your mothers womb
When in despair and no one is there
Reach for the high that will fill
You with warmth and tears of joy
Aim a witness I been there
Where your headed and a voice
Called out to me tie the rope around hope
Bend your knees and praise him
There is no greater power
For he is of love we must grow as life goes on
Were not alone reach for faith love hope
Seek his love is for ever lasting
.. he boasts he's got
the strongest faith and screams:
"Your faith shall save yahh!"
.. he prays it won't rain
as he stands with his cane,
a furled umbrellahh !
I came to faith at forty-eight,
a mid-life crisis within my mind,
step-by-step a staircase I climbed,
'til I keft my old life behind;
Off the fence I slithered down,
upon my brow,doubt bears no frown,
each question answered,verified,
no blind faith this,with no place to hide;
Reasoned,studied and empirical
a life-style relevant and opical,
by revelation,face to face,
I stand here still,saved by grace.
The proof of election,is mine
In Christ too,it can be thine.
Within my soul the darkest of places
Locked up inside of these tiny places
Sitting on the toilet to eat at the table
Another animal sitting in his stable
Years away from being set free
All I have left is my pen and me
With pen in hand I start to write
Can a convict change his plight?
I shall become, “The mustard seed”
Can my faith become all I need?
I write of joy as well as love
From my cell I become a dove
Though my cell is cold and gray
Through my pen I shall sail away
Across skies clear and blue
I’m as free as any of you
Freedom is a frame of mind
Through my faith I am blind
Through blind eyes I can see
Accepting Christ has set me free
I missed the contest but that
doesn't matter. The message
is the same. Blind faith is a
wonderful gift I received in
the darkest of places. Since
that day my life has never
been the same. I ride my
faith like a surfer rides a
wave. God Bless, mj
Faith is like radar that sees through the fog
When faith is forced by reason agog
When it becomes blind it dies
It is like a bird that feels
Light in dark dawn still defog.
In faith there is enough light
For those who want to believe it
But for those who don’t believe
Enough shadows to blind the eye
I for one like the colour of the Dwait.
========================
For contest : Blind Faith
Dwait (In Hindu mythology) means you can reach God thro’ a Guru (Master). Master can be
anyone in your life, but generally it is the mother.
The power of faith will help you through,
at times in your life,your not sure what to do.
Faith is one thing that I do believe,
it has gotten me this far and helped me achieve.
I believe in faith,it means strong belief or trust,
even if I don't believe,I think sometimes I must.
The power of faith is strong,
all you have to do is ask.
Colleen Marie Bono
Dear Lord, I know you’re up there watching over
Your every daughter and every son
And through all the world’s changes, you continue
To care for each and every one
So, the times I’m feeling deserted and a little insecure
Please forgive me though my faith diminishes and
Of your love, I’m just not sure
And the times I’m feeling down and an atheist I act
Please understand it’s faith in myself that I lack
And when the doors that you keep open, I adamantly close
Please, don’t give up on me; for, that’s when
I need you the most.
Today is your day to show just this,
That you’ll take gods hand and walk with him.
Down the path that leads to life,
Holding on with all your might.
“you’ll never let go” you promise him,
As he smiles back and adds to it.
“ I am the truth, the way of life. And with this you’ll start your life.”
“To show your love is just like mine, strong like the wind that never dies.”
Remember that today will show,
That you have faith in all you know.
Just like you know his love it true,
And that he died on the cross to show it too.
Telling he has faith in you,
To live the life he made for you.
And with this you’ll say his name
And feel the love threw out your vanes.
-Knowing your decision is right-
To give your heart in a special way,
So we can call it your Baptism day.
walk thourgh faith is like walkingthourgh beauty
things you never thought you can never do.

walking thourgh faith
The faith of all is like a glass, held high for all to see,
although you look from a different place,
You still see the same Lord as me.
I can see his pierced side,
whilst another See's the spear,
you may see his arms outstretched'
Yet another See's his tears.
all that's seen and yet unseen
The faith of one belief,
He died to take away our Sins
and leave eternal peace.
Heaven and Earth could not be if
Our Lord didn't think that the
Proof to really see was for
Everyone to have
A faith that believes that
Nothing is achieved by
Doing nothing and
Failing to hope in Thee.
A simple scripture makes life very easy
If you remember that faith is
The substance of things
Hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.
People ask, “Do you have faith?”
Well, do you?
How do you know?
Do you even know the meaning of faith?
Can you comprehend “obligation?”
Do you understand “loyalty and fidelity”
to a person, promise, engagement, or a diety?
Can you accept the observance of your obligations,
the fidelity to your promises, oaths, and allegiances?
If so, your are blessed with faith.
If not, you are hopelessly devoid of faith’s essence.
The value of faith cannot be measured.
It is more precious then any commodity
and cannot be bought nor sold.
If you lack it, faith is only
accessible through prayer.
No one is worthy of faith
and faith is never based on proof.
Faith is a heavenly gift,
a gift from “The Holy Spirit.”
It is neither earned or deserved
and ought never be taken for granted.
Faith permits acceptance of our “Lord and Savior”
and HIS “Holy Sacrifice”
that alone can save our souls.
Faith is your connection to the divine.
If you lack faith, pray for it.
If you have faith, cherish it.
