Rock of Faith
Lord
grant us
to have freely
the gift
the gift of the grace of faith
& let us not
be so arrogant
as to believe
in our own pride
that we can self-illuminate
our own minds
our own hearts
our own souls
our own strength & courage
by our own spirits
for our souls live
in utter darkness
& cannot receive light
no matter the effort
or the toil expended
for darkness illuminated
by darkness is darker still
O Lord light of the world
light of mankind the human race
O Light of light divine
make us humble in our faith
that we may accept Your gift of faith
freely & without any reservations
abandoning all into Your care & wisdom
unearned graciously received eternally
