Faith and Doubt...

Doubt sees the obstacles,

Faith sees the way;

Doubt sees the blackest night;

Faith sees the day;

Doubt dreads to take a step,

Faith soars on high;

Doubt questions,"Who believes?"

Faith answers,"I."

Faith asks:

Who has promised?

Faith looks back:

to mercies given

to promises fulfilled

to victories won.

Faith looks forward:

to new songs of deliverance

to new wells of understanding

to new reasons for rejoicing

Faith fills:

the past with gratitude

the present with peace

and the future with hope

Faith finishes:

the course with belief

that what was said in the beginning

has been made perfect in the end.
