My Faith is Alive

There were times in this life, when I felt like Lazarus, buried and dead,

For I had fallen for the devil’s tricks, let him get inside my head,

And it was not very often, that I thought much at all about my eternity,

But one day I heard Jesus calling, and He was saying come forth to me,

And that stone that was my heart, that had been so hard and cold,

Was changed in the shortest instant, when I let Jesus take control,

I learned that even with all I had done and been through, God really loved me still,

Now I study His Word every day, wanting to be only in His will,

For without Him life is fruitless, that is not where I want to be,

But in Him life is eternal, from sin, the grave, and death, I’ve been set free,

So into this ocean of human living, into which each day I must dive,

I have found that truly it is love, that makes my faith alive.
