Give Me a Faith

"Jesus replied, 'All those who love me

will do what I say. My Father will love them,

and we will come to them and live with them."

Give Me a Faith

Garnett Ann Schultz

d

Give me a faith that I might keep

However dark the day,

That I might know that all is well

Though weary be my way.

Give me a hope to fill my heart

To make each day worthwhile,

A way to ease a troubled mind

and teach me how to smile.

d

Give me an understanding soul

That knows a peace supreme,

A quietness at close of day,

A treasure worthwhile dream;

A guiding hand that I may lend.

That others too might see

And find the same in peaceful bliss

That life has given me.

d

Give me a tomorrow, full and bright,

A worthwhile task to do;

Fill my todays with endless chores

And make each gray sky blue.

Help to believe that all is well

Though troubles too may come,

Just let me know that not far off

My heart shall find the sun.

d

Give me a faith that never dies

That I might find my way,

Eagerly waiting tomorrow's dreams,

Forgetting each yesterday,

Life with its troubles, life with its cares ,

These I can take I know . . .

Give me a faith that shall last through all,

A faith that will live and grow.
