EYES OF FAITH
I wrestled with the Lord in prayer; All day all night, I wrestled there; And then as morning streaked the sky, The Lord bent low and made reply: "This thing you've asked, dear child, of Me Is there for eyes of faith to see; The eyes of flesh will not believe What eyes of spirit can perceive. Reach out and take it, child of Mine; This thing you've prayed for, It is thine." And sure enough, my lifted gaze Beheld the heavens all ablaze; The newborn sun it's glow unfurled Across a breathless, waiting world. I could not yet the answer see, But in the very depths of me A gentle "knowing" took control, And peace embraced my quivering soul. That's why today each time I pray, I know the answer's on the way. I do not place undying trust In what I see with eyes of dust; Thank God for eyes of faith, He cares! And still is busy answering prayers. ~ Author Unknown ~ |
