My Journey to God

Certain Faith

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see” (Heb 11:1).

The way of the Beloved
Holds sway to certain faith;
Neither war nor peace the grail,
But God’s will that shall prevail.

Faith is knowing God is Sovereign,
Shines the light of perpetual prayer.
Fullness of life in God alone
Transforms and touches hearts of stone.

“Not my will, but God’s be done”
Lifts high intensity of our prayer.
In faith, we pray for those who don’t,
In love, we love for those who won’t.

The way of the Beloved
Breathes forth each earthen day.
We journey toward that kingdom place,
Faith grounds all life as sacred space.
