From 2 Corinthians 5:6-7:  “So we are always confident, even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Lost in fog of sinful flesh

Hidden from Father’s intent

Caught again in evil’s net

Faith’s ember waits to repent

Selfishness, full of darkness

One more transgression adds shame

Swallowed by false promises

Faith finds mercy’s trusted flame

Spirit breathes with precious grace

Savior’s blood washes sin clean

Paid for from Calvary’s cross

Faith’s pastures, forever green

In Christ, walking His high road

Old ways now passing away

Reconciled by Father’s love

Faith maturing, day by day

From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Charles Swindoll:  “The only way to find happiness in the grind of life is to do so by faith.”
