"Faith" a poem

• Psalm 1:1 (ASV)

---

On behalf of my Brother James Hayes

“Faith”

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for

The evidence of things not seen

Fully Assured I Trust Him

To wash me completely clean

Through faith we know the worlds were framed

Alone by the Word of God

While those who doubt can’t understand

To them it sounds too odd

There’s only one way to get it or haven’t you heard

Faith cometh by hearing and that by the Word

Yes faith is the mortar that locks in each stone

Even so without works it’s dead when alone

Noah had faith and Moses did too

They trusted in God to carry them through

From faith to faith is God’s nature revealed

By it the Saints are strengthened and healed

The just shall live by it for so it is written

While many are lost for with doubt they are smitten

Through faith in His Word His grace He will give

If we simply believe then forever we’ll live

You can’t please Him without it that’s just how it goes

But diligent seekers and believers He knows
So if you have faith keep it and love it

For Christ is the Author and Finisher of it

The Brother

James Hayes
