~:Make Faith Your Fortress:~

We Stand Here With Mixed Emotions

Of Hope And Fear,

Hope For The Peace We Long Have Sought,

Fear That Our Hopes Will Come To Naught...

Unwilling To Trust In The Father's Will,

We Count On Our Logic And Shadow Skill

And, In Our Arrogance And Pride,

Man Is No Longer Satisfied

To Place His Confidence And Love

With Childlike Faith In God Above...

But Tiny Hands Tousled Heads

That Kneel In Prayer By Little Beds

Are Closer To The Dear Lord's Heart

And Of His Kingdom More A Part

Then We Who Search And Never Find

The Answers To Our Questioning Mind,

For Faith In Things We Cannot See

Requires A Child's Simplicity...

Oh, Father,

Grant Once More To Man A Simple

Childlike Faith Again,

Forgetting Color, Race And Creed

And Seeing Only The Heart's

Beep Need...

For Faith Alone Can Save Men Soul

And Lead Him To A Higher Goal,

For There's But One Unfailing Course -

We Win By Faith And Not By Force.
