A Witness to Faith

He spoke from the pulpit
of a life of service; but really
as a witness to faith
what it means to be a Christian
in out hearts, in our suffering,
in our way of living our lives
faithfully comforting, offering salve
a balm to our neighbors’
troubled souls, to believe
in the faith of our fathers,
Abraham’s faith, beyond reason
the unseen works of God,
His grace acting in our lives still
echoed through the years
murmured in his prayer

Romans 4:13-25 & Hebrews 11:1-10
based on the sermon, “Hearing Faith”, by
the Reverend Orin D. Watson, retired ordained
elder with the Illinois Great Rivers Conference
of the United Methodist Church, a pastor for over
60 years, and a wonderful witness to faith
