Because We Have Faith

Stopping to check in
to talk with my neighbor
my brother, suffering
to make his ends meet

The economy, the pressures
the difficult circumstances
yet we both were affirming
because we have faith

The struggles, the trials
the grist of this life
still there for believers
but with a strength deep inside

If we turn to Jesus
on that strong foundation
our hope in our Savior
and our peace in the storms
