The Faith Of Our Mothers (Our Earnest Desire) Poem by Falana Zion

Faith of our mothers, a lovely sight
Loving spirit and joyful gaze
Gentle soul and gentle breeze
Faithful heart and a prayerful life

The faith of our mothers, a Godly faith
That rippped the sinner's heart apart
That drew grace from afar
The faith that opened the heavenly gates apart

The faith of our mothers, a Christian faith
That believed seven precedes eight
That beheld a land that's brighter than the day
For the father waits over the way

That cradle songs that watered a troubled heart
The cymbals that opened the cloudy sky
The hearts that worked before the sun gave up to the stars
Wonderfully singing "on Christ's solid Rock we stand"

Faith of our mothers, your sons are leaping in agony
Our day is giving up to the night
Moral decadence is dancing on our lane
Hope there will be stars on our sky

Faith of our mothers
Sing for us your lovely track
For our sight is becoming dark
For we only behold the earth without the other side

O ye faith of our mothers
Rest not your eyes on your heart
Breathe thy spirit through our deeds
Our age is seeking you more than the past

The faith of our mothers, a glorious faith
That manifested in their morning bell and noontide grace
Rise from your grave to rescue our age
With the hope that we'll be true to thee till death
