For Rowdy Christians Everywhere

Faith More than Feeling

  Our faith is more than a feeling,

  it’s certain truth beyond equal;

  joy exceeding all dreams and hopes,

  holy as a thousand Sundays;

  days made great, life become complete

  in the fullness of God’s blessings.

  What are we without those blessings?

  Bones and flesh, thought and some feeling--

  And how shall we call this complete?

  Add up life, what does it equal?

  Tedious weeks and empty Sundays,

  until we seize His sacred hope.

  Jesus Christ himself is our hope,

  And God the sole source of blessings.

  Whether we recharge on Sundays

  and live a week on that feeling,

  or honor each day as equal,

  Only in God are we complete.

  By worshipping God, we complete

  our true nature. Only through hope

  in Him do we become equal

  to our role--to receive blessings

  gratefully, as children, feeling

  reverence for the God of Sundays.

  The Church of God still meets on Sundays.

  The ranks of saints are not complete

  without you! Trust that true feeling

  that bids you near! Come and find hope!

  Stay, and claim love’s lasting blessings!

  In needing God, all men are equal.

  To whom else shall God be equal?

  Does science give grace on Sundays?

  Can man bestow heaven’s blessings?

  Will blind chance build worlds? Or complete

  chaos breathe life? Make Christ your hope,

  we pray with faith and deep feeling!

  No earthly blessings can equal

  meeting the God of Hope on Sundays,

  and feeling ourselves made complete.
