How do the blind know that grass holds the dew,
That sunshine is bright or that clouds carry rain?
Others describe to them all of these truths,
And faith springs from the unseen.
How does the soul know God is real,
Or feel the conviction of sin?
How do hearts of stone suddenly feel
The need for new life within?
The workings of God cause all of these things
To bring out repentance and faith;
Then out of the darkness a Christian heart springs,
A product of Christ's saving Grace.
Faith in things that are hoped for,
Conviction of things not seen;
Trust in the one true Lord of Lords,
You don't have to see to believe.
~A.L. 6/08
