The Fault of Being Faithful
I long to have no fault but this
The one fault that is not amiss
The fault of being faithful
For men will find this still a fault
And with their tongues will strong assault
This fault of being faithful
For I have known fault of my own
When less than His full grace I’ve shown
And fell far short of faithful
But grace awakened sorrow came
A double portion replaced shame
And spurred me on to faithful
A diligent borne fire renewed
The Holy Spirit’s might endued
The quest for being faithful
Till life’s last breath
Shall end in death
The finish line found faithful?
Renewed desire
Full grace inspire
To be found in Him faithful
And in that day
By grace shall say
T’was He who made me faithful
Heaven’s prize
Men will despise
The fault of being faithful
Opps -- my comment got posted to the wrong post. This is the one I especially wanted to thank you for sharing. Copying it out now, and so grateful for your fellowship together, in His ways.
