Faith Steps

Not a great leap, my faith’s a string of steps,
that reinforce each other like a web:
God's mighty Big Bang start the world accepts,
His tide of laws that make the oceans ebb.

The Scripture stories with such strong appeal,
God's promises a shield no threats could pierce,
a mother's love that taught God's love is real,
her family's faith that made her faith so fierce.

A hero Jesus Who is so attractive,
with miracles to prove His story true,
the Church He founded warm and interactive,
with so much love and care for me and you.

And then, O God, add on Your inner voice,
a string of steps that leave me little choice.
