Faith and Miracles

When God makes me a little miracle,
my faith is strengthened for His next demand;
one first believes in them on principle,
then God does some--as much as one can stand.
Each time He sends a sign, my faith grows deeper,
then more and greater wonders I receive,
but with each one, the price grows ever steeper,
the more I see, the more I must believe.
God’s not outdone in generosity,
Christ did His miracles to really show
He was God then to those and now to me,
so I’d not just believe, but really know.
The miracles boost faith as their reward,
and then more miracles You send me, Lord.
