His is the abject lesson,
the proof in the seeing,
the touching, the questioning
the believing by his eyes,
his senses, his experience
We must go another way,
follow the example, the words,
the testimony, those witnesses long ago
believe because we believe
hold fast to hope, the truths
in the proclamation, the Good News
believing without seeing,
without touching, without
knowing the physical savior
Knowing Him in our hearts
instead, alone, a definition of faith
