O' Ye of Little Faith


When days were full of dark despair
And no one else could see me through,
I couldn’t find you anywhere;
I needed You! I needed You! 

When I cried out in utter pain
And begged You to come rescue me,
The dark clouds only brought more rain;
Torrential as the raging sea. 

For days I lingered in this way
Devoid of warmth and love,
But then You sent a shining ray
Directly from above. 

“O’ye of little faith,” I heard
In soft familiar tones
“How can you doubt my loving word?
You never are alone! 

Now rest your weary soul, my dear
And in this state abide,
Lay down your burdens, do not fear
I’m always by your side!”

What I Love


Can’t paint a charming portrait
Or sing a lilting song
But I can tell you what I love
If you’d like to tag along. 

I love a cool crisp morning
When autumn comes around
The twinkling of an early frost
And leaves upon the ground.

An azure sky excites my senses,
A pumpkin wet with dew
A sunny, cloudless afternoon
A field of cornstalks, too.

When mountains are emblazoned
With colors warm and bright
Their splendor can’t be hidden
Even from the night.

As autumn leaves are falling
Each one a different shade
Who wouldn’t marvel at the sight
Our wondrous God has made 

It emerges early in October
This awe-inspiring view
I love it, oh, so very much
I hope you love it, too!
