Faith Renewed

Once, I placed my faith in myself
But I was so alone
Then I placed my faith in a chosen other
But then I was so hurt
I could place my faith in close family and friends
But what would I do if they were gone?
If I place my faith in how I look today
That will eventually pass away
Or if I place my faith in my abilities and strengths today,
Tomorrow I am sorrowful over my weaknesses.
And if I place faith in what I own or will come to own
That can all be lost in an instant

Then I placed my faith in you...
And meaning, purpose, love and joy came to be with me
