Analysis of Faith
Feeling so far behind,
I wanted to get ahead,
But life is not always kind,
Still faith without works is dead.
Are you hanging on the vine,
Hoping against hope,
Thirsting for new wine,
At the end of your rope.
Let God have control
Give him first place
Your ways you must let go.
Growing in his grace.
