Faith Is...
Obviously not an official entry, but here's mine:
Faith is believing you'll come out clean,
knowing that you'll be OK,
It's the smile that reassures,
and the laugh that comforts,
it's the tears that flow,
when you come home,
faith is my belief,
my belief in you.

and the laugh that comforts,
it's the tears that flow,
when you come home,
faith is my belief,
my belief in you.
As water flows
through all of life,
so does He speak
to us.
More precious
than anything else
is our faith.
It is
the only form of communication
we have with God.
Through it
we have the ears
for hearing Him.
Through it
we have the heart
for obeying Him.
Through it
we have the patience
for allowing Him
to make us Holy.

"The Warrior"(beginning)

The Word Is Pure Penetration
The most satisfying sensation
And the Source of my Inspiration
The Only True Revelation
But It Requires Perspiration
With Blood And Tears in anticipation
And He Gave me enough Faith for the nation
That's why I fight for this generation....

....That's a Beautiful illusrtation
To solve Eternal Life's Equation
But there is much frustration
In the form of temptation
And you don't know when you will be up for evaluation
That's just the battle that I'm facing....

Faith is an act of courage
Faith is believing that we may have failed a thousand times but will definately succedd the next time.
It is faith only that gives us the will power to think positively.
It is faith only that shows us a light at the end of every tunnel.

Faith is knowing it's all meant to be.
It means looking deeper-expecting to see.
Faith is not telling a mountain to move-
but knowing it's standing right where it should.
Faith is not in knowing you will be saved
but knowing that we all came here that way.
Faith is not praying for something to change-
but accepting the "IS" and being the WAY.

Just when my heart
begins to shake
with frailty
He comes to me.
Makes my spine straight,
my chest solid and full,
my gaze steady and fearless.
I stand alone
on the golden throne
of faith.
His promise
overcomes
all the bondage.
He delivers me
through the storm.

To Believe
is a very
quiet
way.
Prayer creates
a sacred space
of emptiness
inside.
He fills it
with marvelous things.
Miracles happen.
Wisdom, peace
and all we need
is given
with loving perfection.
Trust strengthens me
enlivens me
and transforms me.
Deep within
He silences
with faith.

Faith Is...
The substance
that gives are beliefs power
In Our darkest hours
when hopelessness
whispers in our ears
to quell are spirits
and ignite our fears
Faith Is
The reason why
we can face are troubles
head on
and tell the devil
he is a lie
so be gone!
