Great things


Faith He taught us first
Then evil cast its curse
He tried to give us hope
So we may learn to cope
 
Our lives slippery like soap
Tourmented hearts do plea
Our hollow souls elope
Finding love to be the key
 
Our toils trap us like rope
Frantically fighting to be free
Faith hath given me hope
That love will someday save me
 
Faith, Hope, Love
Few things He's given us
The greatest?
Love
