Word or Miracle

God gives us miracles for we are weak,
His words should be enough for us to see,
and to believe, He only needs to speak,
not have to show things to make us agree.

But we are fallen creatures of the earth,
a cracked and broken world we suffer here,
where only things we sense have any worth,
and words need deeds in order to be clear.

Reason alone and Revelation true,
and God's own gentle voice prompting inside,
and all Creation giving God His due,
need sensual proof for our faith to abide.

To all these, Lord, You add a miracle,
enough to keep my senses sensible.
