With the Formation of a Molecule of faith

With the formation
Of a molecule of faith
Came the foundation
That would ever change his fate

And with that first step
He walked away from despair
And with joy how he lept!
For he'd hope unto repair

Broken things do mend
When the gospel is applied
Life does not dead end
When the Lord's light is supplied

Jesus Christ's first words
In His Sermon on the Mount
Were to give courage
To those troubled and in doubt

Each person must brace
Themselves for what life inflicts
And must learn to face
Trials, struggles, and conflicts

Some ever insist
That the flood waters not start
Held back they persist
Into foxholes of the heart

Where it drowns the soul
Like a tsunami in spread
Shattering life's goals
With the emptiness of dread

For the rest we seek
The Lord says, "Come unto me"
Be humble and meek
Where we'll find His peace

As we're our worst enemy
We hide in a foxhole
Then we call for a remedy
And Christ makes us whole
