Faith, Greed & Love Poem by Tom Zart

FAITH

So perfect is nature, though not by man
It's the brush of our Master that paints the land.
The sun comes up and sun goes down
As in every direction God's wonders are found.


The tide comes in and the tide goes out
Our faith in eternalness is what life is about.
Contentment depends on which path we walk
By daylight or darkness; our faith is our rock.

Our confidence and trust in a higher power
Helps guide us through every moment and hour.
Fidelity to one's promise and observance of law
Lets our Lord know we heed His call.

GREED

Greed is an unwholesome desire
A craving to obtain all desired by man.
Caused by gluttonous, ego and conceit
As we eagerly grasp everything we can.

Wealth, fame, power and libido
Are the trophies of what greed consists of.
A hunger to experience every exotic wish
Overpowering the glory of love.

Twisted by pursuing all, which is wrong
Our compassion becomes self-serving.
We ‘re tormented by mistrust, suspicion and rage
And our downfall as a human is deserving.

LOVE

The first one to love me was You; Lord
And nothing can take that away.
My soul is refreshed by living water
While my heart flows with love each day.

I thank You for the love of my family
And I thank You for the love of my life.
I thank You for all of the blessings
You give to each husband and wife.

Your glory rides high on the sunsets
Your voice is the thunder of rain.
I thank You for all of the heavens
And Jesus who came to be slain.

I feel when Your eyes are upon me
As You listen to my humble cry
You've redeemed the soul of Your servant
To dwell in Your mansion on high.

I'll claim each and every promise
From the Lord of the Earth and sky.
I'm so glad I'm free from my bondage
Of the grave where my body shall lie.

I thank You for parting the darkness
And guiding my footsteps each day.
I thank You for being my Shepherd
You've walked with me all the way.
