Faith More than Feeling
Our faith is more than a feeling,
it’s certain truth beyond equal;
joy exceeding all dreams and hopes,
holy as a thousand Sundays;
days made great, life become complete
in the fullness of God’s blessings.
What are we without those blessings?
Bones and flesh, thought and some feeling--
And how shall we call this complete?
Add up life, what does it equal?
Tedious weeks and empty Sundays,
until we seize His sacred hope.
Jesus Christ himself is our hope,
And God the sole source of blessings.
Whether we recharge on Sundays
and live a week on that feeling,
or honor each day as equal,
Only in God are we complete.
By worshipping God, we complete
our true nature. Only through hope
in Him do we become equal
to our role--to receive blessings
gratefully, as children, feeling
reverence for the God of Sundays.
The Church of God still meets on Sundays.
The ranks of saints are not complete
without you! Trust that true feeling
that bids you near! Come and find hope!
Stay, and claim love’s lasting blessings!
In needing God, all men are equal.
To whom else shall God be equal?
Does science give grace on Sundays?
Can man bestow heaven’s blessings?
Will blind chance build worlds? Or complete
chaos breathe life? Make Christ your hope,
we pray with faith and deep feeling!
No earthly blessings can equal
meeting the God of Hope on Sundays,
and feeling ourselves made complete.
