HAVE FAITH IN HIM: winner-an abcedarius

HAVE FAITH IN HIM: award winner--an abcedarius


All, but those who don't have faith,
Believe there is a God.
Certain, so they are of this,
Daily they pray to Lord.

Every day they have a new
Feeling they are with Him.
God is there, He lives in their
Heart, the faithful know well.

In a moment of despair,
Just when all appears dark;
Knowledge that He is with them,
Lights up yet more their faith.

Men, why are you suspicious?
No, God is not a myth.
Only those can vouch for His
Presence, whom He has blessed.

Quite a few non-believers
Repent their lack of faith.
Somehow it is never late;
They can always redeem.

Under His plan that He knows,
Varied are those He made.
Why judge others or try to
X-ray their thoughts and deeds?

Yet, in ugly thoughts we dwell.
Zeal we often have evil.
