Two Ways of Faith
Should life be so imperiled by the dangers of each day
Should children be in constant fear of when or where they play
Should women fear the outcome of their meetings with new men
That they have never met before the circumstance their in
Should people fear the future of events they do not know
The whys the whens the wherefores of the places they must go
Not knowing if the day they start will have a peaceful end
Or if they'll face a trial of faith alone they can't defend
No life should not be filled with fear with every waking day
Nor should we be afraid of what will come for things we say
But for as long as we are here on Satan's captured ground
The curse of sin and feared events will constantly be found
In those who trust the future to the ways of evil men
Who place their faith in flesh alone that's marred by selfish sin
Who choose to waste the precious gift of life from Him Who gave
His own to take away the sins of those He came to save
For every one is given in their heart the gift of faith
A measure that's proportionate to what they need by grace
To grasp a hold of God and our redemption through His Son
Or to the flesh of those like us who're lost when time is done
And if we choose to exercise that faith with which we're born
In things like other people who desire to adorn
The outside of their person with the baubles people see
To hide the fear and loneliness that grips their entity
Then we will live in constant fear of what each day will bring
Of what might happen if we lose our hold on everything
Until at last when youth is past in misery we'll die
Believing there was nothing more to have than Satan's lie
But if we choose instead to place our faith in Christ alone
Accepting from His Sacrifice the blood that does atone
And trust each day His Spirit through our special time with Him
To fill us with His promises and what we find in them
Then we will not be found to fear what Satan brings our way
Nor will we have anxiety for what might come today
But will with heart and purpose keep our focus stayed on God
And know in steadfast love for Him soon heaven's paths we'll trod
Romans 12:1-3; 2 Chronicles 32:7, 8; Isaiah 51:5-8
