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!”
