POETRY CORNER |
THE CRY OF FAITH
Ten leprous men, condemned to die
Thro endless nights and lonely days,
'Unclean, unclean' forlornly cry
To warn unwary passers by
Along the desert ways.But laws gave way to faith's decree
When Jesus chanced to pass that way.
Ten men, as one, on bended knee
For mercy made an earnest plea
And health was theirs that day.O weary world, so sick within,
When will you learn in faith to pray?
Their leprosy but types your sin,
And if new life you would begin,
Seek Christ without delay.Who knows his sin and heeds not holy will,
Who trusts in men for life, is dying still!
Most blessed is he whose spirit thrills
With such a faith as cures a thousand ills!M. Allen Gibson
