Stars of Faith

Stars of Faith:

Out of every corner, there creeps a fear,

Every shadow comes so near.

But a darkness that over shadows all,

Is what creates the Christian’s wall.

***

The morning air is crisp and clean,

The sun shoots forth a brilliant beam.

Fear is far, and darkness faded,

With light over head, all troubles have abated.

But all to soon the sun goes down,

Lingering as it touches the ground.

She gives a mighty, beautiful good bye,

But we are always left with the dark night sky.

But in a city, busy and bright,

The sun’s fade has still left light.

Man made lights around us glare,

Keeping us from what’s really there.

Above the earthly atmosphere,

Beyond any man’s farthest fear,

There gleams many heavenly balls of glory,

Outdone done by man, trying to combat worry.

At the country-side, naturally darker,

The sun’s good bye, has left the sky starrier

The city lights glimmer, dim in the distance,

But stars become more beautiful in briliance.

Surrounded by darkness, but refusing fear,

We visually see God’s stars become near.

The lights are dimmed so that we can see,

The small joys that God brings to you and me.

But in a wilderness, alone and scared,

night sets in with additional fear,

But with no city lights to dim their existence

The stars shine in glory at no great distance.

When all man’s lights have failed to show,

When all invention fail to glow,

We are left depending on the starry truth,

The one the never fails to sooth.

Accustomed by God to seeing his greatness,

He send clouds at times to test our faithfulness.

In a wilderness all alone,

The clouds set in and darkness groans

We Know by faith, that those stars still exist,

But only will faith keep from fleeing this.

We want to flee to man made brights,

To comfort ourselves with a finite light.

But faith alone reminds us that,

The stars are there, we just can't see it.

*** 

Faith builds up a mighty wall,

Taller that even the darkest tall.

Prepared to trust that through every storm

The lights still shine, in a heavenly form.

Build your wall through every shadow

Make it stong, don’t build shallow.

Build up your wall of faith.

the stars will never leave their place

Out of every corner, there creeps a fear,

Every shadow comes so near.

But a darkness that over shadows all,

Is what creates the Christian’s wall.
