Analysis of Faith

Faith
an evolution from inside out
a conviction that lingers about
while we wean; while we learn
while we rend; while we mend
from the liquidity of milk to the solidity of meat
from the hardness of meat to the rockiness of bone
a substance so weighed, over and all over again
from light to heavy weight, yet the sources remain
once little now large, so strong you got a badge
when expectation is felt; and anticipation is smelt

only in the minds we act without edge, without tact
only upon a mission; the sure footpath of a vision
while we run in the doing; and bask in the knowing
showing forth evidence that surrounds the birth
of the expected; the respected;
of the esteemed; the treasured
works born from instruction; the fruits of conviction
add a little salt of passion; the marvel behind the vision
but its grows and it keeps growing; bigger and better
and cherish and sweeter

a sparkle of surprise from the finger of God
a miracle of wonder from the Lord of lords
yet without which seems a falter
unable to meet Him at the alter
to move his mighty hands
to put you in a firm stand
faith without works is dead
but with it and action is bread
without guts it's unthinkable to press forth
without faith it's impossible to please God!
