Invisible Qualities

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

From what is not visible
You create what is seen
So why should we doubt?
If we know what you mean

If we do not have faith
Then we cannot please you
All you ask us to do
Is to simply believe you

When you tell us, what is
We need just to believe it
Not trying to help you
But only receive it

When we’re trying to help
Then we go are own way
Not believing the words
That you have to say

O LORD let us fall into
The arms of your grace
Lord Jesus all we want
Is to see your face
