Faith
Faith stirs the very being
Of someone in search of it
Faith
To bring into the present
What lies beneath the veil
Faith
To dream a dream
And make it reality
Faith
Oh, how we lack faith
Faith to accomplish
That which we dream
Oh how faith dribbles in
Teasing us
Beckoning us
To step into the deep
Oh to take the first step
How difficult
Like a child
Taking their first step
We too
Must step
Into the deep
How deep is the waters
You ask
Deep
Very deep
But we must make that first step
It awaits us
Calling us
Oh
Where is your faith
Why do we doubt
When we are told
By the Almighty
That we, too, can bring our dreams
About
Yet
We linger
Why are we lingering
We lack faith
We lack the faith
That we so desire
We have lost out on so much
Dreams gone by the wayside
Desires filtered out
Through our minds
Our dreams
Desires
Are there
Hidden behind the veil
What is wrong with us
Cannot you see
It is there
Awaiting you
Yet you lack faith
You lack faith
