THIS IS FAITH
To walk where there is no path
—– To breathe where there is no air
To see where there is no light —
———- This is Faith.
To cry out in the silence,
—– The silence of the night,
And hearing no echo believe
—– And believe again and again —
———- This is Faith.
To hold pebbles and see jewels
—– To raise sticks and see forests
To smile with weeping eyes —
———- This is Faith.
To say: “God, I believe” when others deny,
—– “I hear” when there is no answer,
“I see” though naught is seen —
———- This is Faith.
And the fierce love in the heart,
—– The savage love that cries
Hidden Thou art yet there!
—– Veil Thy face and mute Thy tongue
Yet I see and hear Thee, Love,
—– Beat me down to the bare earth,
Yet I rise and love Thee, Love!
———- This is Faith.
