The Faith of Jesus

He walked the rise and fall of days Felt the weight of dust and time But never doubted heaven's gaze Never questioned love divine No borrowed creeds, no secondhand light No fragile hope to ease the pain He lived as if the Father's hand Was always just a breath away Not fear that clings when shadows close Not faith that waits till all is lost But trust that stands when reason shakes And joy that counts the earthly cost This is the faith that lives and breathes A child's trust in a grown man's soul No doubt could steal what he believed No storm could break what made him whole He didn't just believe in God He lived as if God lived in him He saw the Father just and near Holy love both great and kind And named us family not by law A Father near not far removed A love that knew us all by name And every life both small and scarred He claimed as family, not by law But by a bond no crown could grant No power break, no death withdraw No frantic fire, no ego throne No mystic drift from earthly ground His faith held wisdom arm in arm With duty, love, and daily sound This is the faith that holds the line When disappointment draws its sword Unshaken calm, completely free When doubt and loss are closing in He didn't just believe in God He lived, as if God lived within Prayer was breath not ritual sound Trust made flesh in daily choice A quiet strength before the storm A will laid down willingly No voices, signs, or visions sought Just constant living open sight Communion with the Light This is the faith he asks of us Not just to see but walk inside Not just to believe what he believed But believe the way he did Follow me, not to worship fear But live the truth he lived within A child's trust in the Father's care And courage to the very end He showed us faith was never words But a life completely given The will of man aligned with love And earth made kin with heaven
