|
To walk where there is no path |
|
To breathe where there is no air |
|
To see where there is no light |
|
This is Faith |
|
To cry out in the silence |
|
The silence of the night |
|
And hearing no echo, believe |
|
And believe again and again |
|
This is Faith |
|
To hold pebbles and see jewels |
|
To raise sticks and see forests |
|
To smile with weeping eyes |
|
This is Faith |
|
To say God I believe when others deny |
|
I hear when there is no answer |
|
I see though naught is seen |
|
This is Faith |
|
And the fierce love in the heart |
|
The savage love that cries |
|
Hidden Thou art yet there! |
|
Veil Thy face and mute Thy tongue |
|
Yet I see and hear Thee love |
|
Beat me down to the bare earth |
|
Yet I rise and love Thee, love |
|
This is Faith |
