10. Faith Is a Very Simple Thing

C.M.
1
Faith is a very simple thing,
 
Though little understood;
 
It frees the soul from death’s dread sting,
 
By resting on the blood.
2
It looks not on the things around,
 
Nor on the things within;
 
It takes its flight to scenes above,
 
Beyond the sphere of sin.
3
It sees upon the throne of God
 
A victim that was slain;
 
It rests its all on His shed blood,
 
And says, "I’m born again."
4
Faith is not what we see or feel;
 
It is a simple trust
 
In what the God of love has said
 
Of Jesus as the Just.
