Faith, great mystery, great enigma!

Faith,
great mystery, great enigma!

What is it that calls the bird to sing

while dawn is yet night,

and the child to leave its mothers womb

to burst into the world?

What is it that moves the soul from its slumber

rising toward a God unseen

and unknown?

Faith,
great mystery, great enigma!

It begins as a daring experiment,

and if followed 'faith -fully'

will find its end in direct experience.

Faith is the road upon which the soul treds,

it's stepping stones not yet existing until the step is taken.

Faith!

not one star moves 'cross the sky,

nor lover consent to beloved

Should faith be absent.

From mystery your longing for God has arisen

not by you, but in you, and for you.

and the magnet that brings you ever closer to That One

is the great enigma of Faith.

What is it?

God's whisper,

revealing the road to be taken,

until the experiment becomes the experience,

and the soul reclines with cheek upon the lips of That One.

Remember this:
Faith never fails. Walk on.
