Within the darkness of this earth…
lit only by the Spirit's light…
the eyes of faith find their true worth…
for only they possess true sight.
The substance of things hoped for now…
the evidence of things not seen…
belief through they cannot see how…
reality distills from dreams.
God's Spirit gives our souls…belief…
in promises not yet attained.
His Word can whisper sweet relief…
when fleshly senses stress and strain.
Our joy someday then realized…
the hope of heaven now our song.
But may we not be too surprised…
for eyes of faith knew all along.
