Genesis 43:1-15
Psalms 69, 73
1 Corinthians 7:1-9
Mark 4:35-41
It is in lost moments when see it
In our deepest fears and despairs In our sorrows
In our tears
When we think no one cares Faith is all we have
Faith is all we are
For the animated persons we become
For the strange indifferent being that we carry in our bodies
For the many sleeves we wear
A heaven of faith is always there
And when time comes to bargain with age
Before our conclusion to life
Before death opens the back door
Before we put on our carpet slippers and slide out of this earth
Faith is all we got…
Faith is all we are…

Faith…
It is in lost moments when see it
In our deepest fears and despairs In our sorrows
In our tears
When we think no one cares Faith is all we have
Faith is all we are
For the animated persons we become
For the strange indifferent being that we carry in our bodies
For the many sleeves we wear
A heaven of faith is always there
And when time comes to bargain with age
Before our conclusion to life
Before death opens the back door
Before we put on our carpet slippers and slide out of this earth
Faith is all we got…
Faith is all we are…
