Faith

---

Man is justified by faith not by his deeds,
Saved by the one on the cross and bleeds;
He is not God to only Gentiles or just Jews,
Rather the God whose belief they choose;
Being of only one God by faith to justify,
Then rejoice and proclaim as you magnify;
Through faith we do not void the Law,
Rather establish it because of our flaw.
You go to a funeral hearing about a man,
How good he has done since his life began;
He was a civic leader in the community,
Excelling within each and every activity;
One thing missing from these eulogies,
No mention about his faith or theologies;
It does not matter what you did in life,
Even being a good husband to your wife;
A strong faith in life is the bottom line,
Being a believer in the Almighty Divine;
Without faith you reached a dead end,
Beyond this life no where to transcend.
