Faith and Fact

I love You, Lord, in faith, if not in fact.
How can I love someone I’ve never met?
Though met in faith, God always does attract
our love, for we owe Him so great a debt.
And yet this God, in fact we sometimes meet,
we constantly find Him in history,
when He makes miracles, it’s God we greet,
He intervenes with His theophany.
And when God came from heaven in Jesus Christ,
as much by fact as faith we have believed,
Who lived, then for our sins was sacrificed,
Whose factual, credible story we received.
O God, my love for You has solid ground,
yet fuller felt by faith than fact I’ve found.
