SPEAK TO ME

Speak to me of faith.
Help me to believe
In what I cannot touch,
In Someone whom I do not fully understand,
And yet,
Help me to put my faith
In Him
For now and forever.

Speak to me of hope.
Despair I can get anywhere.
I can buy pessimism
For the price of a newspaper.

Help me believe in tomorrow,
To know it has meaning,
Fulfillment, and purpose.
Help me believe in tomorrow
Because you will be there,
And
Because Jesus will be there.
