Faith

 God knows the little time I stay, And what each day may bring to me, Therefore I'd strive to walk the way O'er which I have His company.

 When far from home, and dark the night, Why should I fear or feel alone? If I but look, I shall see light Along the pathway leading home.

 Then, let me leave in God all trust; Yea, all I have and all I am, Still striving ever to live just By foll'wing after Christ the Lamb. Lawrence J. Sorenson
