once the storm settles
all tears have fallen
and branches cease
waving good-bye
when the confused darkness,
a curtain of doubt,
and wild-eyed strife
cease to be
when the cloud of self-conscious self-consequence
is once again raised up--dissolved in the Light
By faith
I trust you will see
By faith
I trust the Love I have come,
By faith,
to know and to show,
By faith
I trust you do understand
By faith
I trust you do know
I am a seeker of Truth
Speaking not to cloud-over,
Seeking instead to understand,
Faithful in spirit, a lamp on a stand
Any questions...
Raised up in purity
in Spirit shining and striving to know...
His Light, by faith
I trust in God, Lord of in-dwelling spirit,
in His disciplined voice, in a quiet moment,
in forbearance and humility,
in the Peace of the Prince,
a dove of harmony --
a comforting Christ
Our saving grace, by faith, i Know you do see
