Through My Veins It Flows Like Water; My Faith
Politics aside, there is much more to me. I am passionate about many things and those are the things which sustain me.
Through my veins...
What does my faith mean to me?
I wish I could explain it, so that naysayers would clearly see
It is not about religion, nor the pomp and circumstance,
it’s not entered into foolishly or by some bizarre happenstance
Through my veins it flows like water; mind, soul, body, taking it all in
Something greater than us sustains me, so that something new in me, may begin
Not to say that I’m made perfect, not to say that I won’t fall
but life’s battles are less impactful, the fear of defeatism is made small
What does my faith mean to me?
If only the perfect words would come, so that all could plainly see
We aren't designed to go it alone, but we alone, must choose our own way
While I don't believe this is all there is, I believe life should be cherished...each and every single day
God Only Knows...
One has to be open and willing to receive
The doubters voices grow louder, the distractions are more than a few
They can’t believe in anything greater, so their fear and doubt...well, that is taken out on you
Perhaps the believer and the doubter are both tested in ways we don’t understand or know
A person of faith doesn’t have all the answers, we too are seeking; but seeking the ways in which our faith might grow
So we move through each day working, to be a better person than yesterday
Picking the right foot to put forward, so that we may not stumble {as much} today
When we do, we regroup, we refocus, in God’s word is where we may need to be
For we too are imperfect people, even as we work to help non-believers to see
Seeking out the right words and the message, that might help just one to believe
Takes more than just a believer’s commitment, one has to be open...willing to receive
That’s as plain as I can make it, there are no other words coming to mind to tell
In him you’ll find your redemption, in Christ, your soul will be well!
It Is Well
