Let Us Reason Together

There’s a reason for our reason

  But it’s not to stymie faith

Doubt is tantamount to treason

  When it lingers like a wraith

In the background of our being

  There’s great need for something more

Where believing leads to seeing

  Wondrous things God has in store

For we know faith is true substance

  Firmer than all things we touch

Hope and love are other constants

  That we need to value much

Faith is more than evidential

  It’s the fuel that feeds our fire

Pathway to the providential

  Actions must exceed desire

By faith Enoch was translated

  When he chose to walk with God

Now he’s highly elevated

  With no tombstone marking sod

By faith Moses chose to suffer

  Rather than to walk in sin

Faith at times might make life tougher

  But it brings real peace within

Mountain moving is God’s business

  Though faith’s small as mustard seed

Standing on His Word we’ll witness

  Miracles that supersede

Greater things than these shall ye do

  Reason hears the Master say

Faith’s response will bring a breakthrough

  Harden not your hearts today
