Without Faith

How can I lay my head down each night

And not trust in His will while I’m asleep

Knowing that I am not in control

Of whether I awake from the deep

Without Faith

How can I open my eyes and look about

And not trust that I will have sight

Knowing that by His gift, my brain alone

Teaches me to recognize the light

Without Faith

How can I reach out to touch

And not trust that I will really feel

Knowing that by His gift, my nerves

Pass on what is sensed as real

Without Faith

How can I inhale once more

And not trust that this next breath will come

Knowing that each is such a gift from Him

Connecting me to the world as one

Without Faith

How can I take a step forward, even one

And not trust that I will not fall

Knowing that all balance is from Him

And it is He who helps me stand tall

Without Faith

How can I bear up under the tests of this life

And not trust that I will pass

Because He knows me by name

And will remain with me till the last

For it is He

Who in His eternal wisdom

Has a divine plan placing me here

Only for a short time, this time

Only to return to Him to forever be near
