Okay, Faith

Okay, Faith

Yes, I have faith but I’m not about to boast,
it’s ‘tween me and God without need to post;
if you ask if I believe, I’ll tell you whatever,
and after not care if you berate me forever;
I’ll even attempt to explain how I got here,
when it comes to the truth I don’t have any fear,
but the matter of faith is a very diff’rent beast,
and no business of yours, no, not in the least;
it may be a mustard seed, could be a mountain,
it’s not easy to do, to measure a fountain,
although I can say that it’s lasted this long,
to guess at the future would only be wrong.
