CROSS-ROAD: Faith! + PRAYER ...By Faith!





Faith Came To The Cross-Road
AND
The Decision Had To Be Made
So Faith Decided To Take A Rest
Upon A 
"Thus Saith The Lord!"AND
By So Doing
Faith And Doubt
- As Walking Companions -
Were Separated
Forever ... Divided!

Waivering Doubt 
Roundly Derided Firm Faith 
Who Was Standing Stout!

Faith Had Butt Upon Truth
- The Word Of God -
AND
Assent ... Agreement
Had Been The Only Position To Take
Since Faith Had Decided
To Walk Away From Sin
AND
Trust In The Word!

Trust
Required A Stop
A Think
A Bold Reasoning
A Decision For Life
- On The Merit Of The One Who Is The Word Of God -
A Turning Away From The Path Of Sin
- The Path To Sin -
A Walking By Faith
- In Faith -
On The Path To New Life
Completely Rejecting
The Old Way That Takes Life
AND
Genuinely Trusting
The Giver Of Life's Plan
That
- Come Hell Or High -
Faith Shall Survive The Mortal Strife
AND SHALLUpon Heaven's Table Land
Eternally Stand
In The Glorious Presence Of
The Son Of God
The Savior Of Man!

Faith Apprehended
- Laid Hold -
Christ Jesus!
Faith Appropriated
- Held On -
Christ Jesus As His Very Own!
Faith Assumed
- By Saving Faith -
The Character Of Christ
AND
Took To Himself
Jesus Christ's Mission Of Mercy
- As A Love Offering To God -
For His Very Own!

Hear Unshakable Faith Pray ...

Jesus,
I Love You!
I Call You Mine!
I Trust You!
I Bless You!
You Are
And
I Call You
Almighty God
Savior
Holy Divine!


Father To The Faithful!
Teacher Most True!
I Believe! 
Lord, Lift Me Up! 
I Desire Heaven
And
I Am Taking Up The Place Given To Me
And
Paid For
By You!


Heavenly Father,
I Have Been Sinful! 
But Now I Know
That You Fulfill My Need! 
Please Use Me, Dear Father
And
Let My Life
For The Heavenly Garden
Be Good And Productive Seed!


In Faith, Lord
I Walk In Trust!
In Trust, Lord
I Speak Of Hope!
With Hope, Lord
I Grasp Eternity
And
With Faith's Eye Seeing Eternity
In You And With You, Lord

And
Through Your Eternally Faithful Love
I Am
- With The Vagaries Of This Mortal Life -
Able To Cope!


I Cast My Cares On You, Lord!
I Didn't Catalog Them! 
I Just Cast Them Off
For
I Know That My God Is Able
So Satan
Over Me
Won't Get The Last Laugh!


In Your Time
In Your Way
Do For Me What God Wills
For I
- In Obedience To Your Ways -
Know That
Because Of Your Love To Me
And
My Trust Love And Confidence In You
Life And Unregenerate Man's  Lawlessness

- While It May Fret My Spirit -
Cannot My Righteous Soul Kill!


I Accept The Promise
In The Covenant Rainbow!
I Accept The Gift
In Jesus Christ's Calvary Sacrifice
And
For This
I Shall Dare
To Stand For Faith
- In Faith -
With Christ
Set Apart
Alone
For He Did
For My Sin
Atone!


Bless Me This Day
In Jesus' Name, I Pray And Plead! 
AMEN.

A Leap Of Faith
