When Our Confidence Is Shaken

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken in beliefs we thought secure, when the spirit in its sickness seeks but cannot find a cure, God is active in the tensions of a faith not yet mature. 2 Solar systems, void of meaning, freeze the spirit into stone; always our researches lead us to the ultimate unknown. Faith must die, or come full circle to its source in God alone. 3 In the discipline of praying, when it's hardest to believe; in the drudgery of caring, when it's not enough to grieve; faith, maturing, learns acceptance of the insights we receive. 4 God is love, and thus redeems us in the Christ we crucify; this is God's eternal answer to the world's eternal why. May we in this faith maturing be content to live and die! Topics: Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Prayer, Trust, Hope; Faith; Redemption Used With Tune: GRAFTON
