Analysis of With Faith



I touched a cloud.  It made me proud;
My faith went past my reach.
All of my strength that fails at length
While faith has more to teach!

I touched the moon and sang a tune
To praise the Lord above.
I can achieve when I believe
His promises of Love!

Don't put yourself upon a shelf
Believing there's no more
Of life ahead.  You are not dead,
With faith your mind explores!
