Rhyme Or Reason
Without time or season faith restores our place
Without rhyme or reason
faith restores our grace
Without grief or heartache faith inspires our dance
Without beef or mistake
faith inspires our stance
Without frill or excess faith answers our thrall
Without skill or finesse
faith answers our call
Without fear or terror faith protects our days
Without veer or error
faith protects our ways
Without vex or trouble faith imparts our smile
Without hex or rubble
faith imparts our style
Without slant or fluster faith sustains our goal
Without rant or bluster
faith sustains our soul
