Faith by James O'Brien

Now here's a thought I've thought before
But never chose to write,
So as I do, and as you read,
I hope you think its right.

Belief is just a simple word
Pertaining to a thought,
It means we think there'll be success
In folks, or things we've bought.

We can believe in fish or men,
Or things that have no heart,
Perhaps in cars or race machines,
Or that someone is smart.

But love is not required to
Believe in things or men.
It only represents a thought
We have a confidence in.

But faith is quite a different word,
With meanings deep and true,
And always represents a love
From folks like me and you.

You see, our faith comes from our heart,
And not from thought or deed,
But faith can move a mountain
Even when it's just a seed.

I can believe in God above
And in the things he made.
I think I know that he exists
And so that's why I prayed.

But when I prayed, I felt his love
And tears welled in my eyes,
And that was when my faith was born,
A love I can't disguise.

And now you know my thought on faith,
And so I testify,
I'll love the Lord with all my heart,
Beyond the day I die.
