By faith all things are possible,
If you could just believe.
Impossible turns probable,
Your dreams you can achieve.

By faith we close our eyes at night,
And pray to God above.
By faith we do not need a light,
By faith we give our love.

It’s faith that leads us far away,
And faith that brings us back.
It turns the night into the day,
When lost it finds a track.

It seems that when all hope is gone,
If faith will still remain,
You find strength to continue on,
See sunshine through the rain.

It’s faith that when you’re feeling down,
Reminds you all the while,
That soon you’ll find you lose the frown,
Replace it with a smile.

By faith you always find a friend,
Who’ll listen to your fears.
By faith that friendship will not end
When you reveal your tears.

By faith I write this poem with care.
It’s faith that makes you read.
But faith can’t get you anywhere,
If you do not take heed.

By Lloyd McLean (1994)
