My precious daughter,
Keep eyes of faith on Me;
It is through your faith
My Face you see.

For faith is confidence
In what you hope for;
It is sweet assurance
Of so much more.

For surely what you see
Is limited in scope;
It is in the unseen then
You place your hope.

Trust then, My child,
Let faith be your guide;
Let your eyes see Me
Close to your side.

For I am here with you,
Lo, always I will be;
I am here with you,
Indeed for all eternity.

Child, guard your faith,
For it is a precious gift;
Let not your heart
The prowling enemy sift.

Keep nigh unto Me,
And your faith will grow;
See My Word shining?
It shows where to go.

Should you ever falter,
Open wide your faith eyes;
I will take your hand gently,
Daughter, I am your Prize.

I love you more
Than words can express;
I want only good for you,
My child, no less.

Yea, beloved, I rejoice
Your eyes of faith are on Me;
I will reward with My love
For all eternity.

"Now faith is confidence
in what we hope for
and assurance about
what we do not see."
