Faith, Hope and Charity,
Spiritual gifts from our Father above,
Freely given to everyone,
Without Bias, but with Mercy and Love.
Faith.....the gift of believing,
Without need of tangible proof,
The certainty in your heart and soul,
That God's written Word is the truth.
Believing beyond the slightest doubt,
That Jesus was born unto men,
That He was Crucified, Suffered, Bled and Died,
On the cross in atonement for our sin.
Hope.....a gift to sustain us,
When we're plagued with troubles and fears,
The knowledge that Jesus cares for us,
And that He is always near.
With God, all things are possible,
Thus Hope springs eternal within,
That by Salvation, through the blood of Christ,
We may be delivered from our sin.
Charity.....the gift of Christian Love,
The greatest of the three,
Without Charity we are nothing,
Nor can we ever be.
Christ gave us the perfect example,
Of how Love and Charity should be,
He left the splendor of Paradise,
To die on the cross for you and me.
Faith, Hope and Charity,
Should be part of our Christian life,
Demonstrated on a daily basis,
Without envy, pride or bias.
Hope grows from Faith,
Like the beautiful blossoms,
Grow from the Dogwood tree,
The roots that feed the tree and blossoms,
Is Love and Charity.
