Faith
Faith that is commended-
Sure faith
Hope unseen
A universe commanded
A better sacrifice
Faith that speaks beyond death-
Pleased God and taken away
Unreceived promises
Faith that pleases God and rewards those who seek Him-
Holy fear that yields an ark
Families saved
World condemned
Faith that builds future cities-
Inherited place
Promised land for a stranger
Wandering desert
Faith that longs for a better way-
Barren, yet childbearing
Descendents like stars
Aliens in foreign lands
Baby hidden in the water
Prostitutes redeemed
Faith that is tested-
Sacrificed child
Promised offspring
Mistreated people
Faith that conquers kingdoms-
Walls fallen
Seas divided
Spies welcomed
Faith that is fearless-
Lions mouths closed
Flames quenched
Prisoners jeered, flogged and chained
Faith that brings a better resurrection-
Exodus
Weakness becoming strength
Disgrace greater than treasures
Faith that makes perfect
*Hebrews 11
