How can I keep my faith when I’m so bad?
One reason--the alternatives are few,
my happy faith keeps me from being sad,
not sure I want: “to thine own self be true.”
To soak myself in me seems so much pride,
especially when my own faith seems so weak,
and I feel so dissatisfied inside,
can I find stronger faith if I but seek?
Along with faith, I seek to understand,
like Socrates--seek truth so I can know,
sometimes it’s hard to settle on a brand,
a busy guy, I’m always on the go.
I start out with the strong faith of my youth,
and pray You, Lord, lead me to faith and truth.
