Wineskins

(A lament) Is this all there is? Is faith not valid? Faith to cling to an Unseen Force Unseen but made Himself known Faith to step out of your foothold Even you venture into high cliffs of uncertainty Is faith not valid? Is love not valid? Love to see not savings But a compassion to save the soul Love compelled to serve Even washing the filthiest feet Is love not valid? Is forgiveness not valid? Forgiveness that never holds back Healing scars that deepens our brotherhood Forgiveness that never closes doors Even wounds are opened seventy seven times Is forgiveness not valid? + Is this all there is of You, O God? Make Yourself known That every people will know that You are just And has never forsaken His people Throw another shade of light A light that will make men see That You are a God who understands Every thoughts and actions of a man Lord, in my waking days May I never sin to Thee Establish Your kingdom, O God As You live Your will in me
