Faith (Inspired By 1 John 2: 9) Poem by Mary Wismer

Faith Inspired by 1 John 2: 9

When I look up into the light
I always seem to find my way

When I give in to the darkness
I then seem to go astray

When I make a choice if not soon, but later,
I come to realize

That this decision I have made
Presents me to be a fool or quite wise

They say, 'Show me your friends,
And I will show you who you are'

Knowledge without wisdom
Won't get you very far

When I'm loving my people
I'll do nothing to cause one to stumble,

Even if it means, changing myself
Releasing my pride and becoming quite humble

I know that when I have the Son to look up to
Shining so bright

Darkness is nowhere to be found
Why, because I'm walking in the light.
