The disciples, before the passion,
asking for more faith.
Not understanding, yet appreciating
the faith deep within their hearts
the faith they would us, with power,
with authority, with passion
in the days after the Pentecost
Use the faith you have the Master said
and we have all been blessed
ever since. For they did just that,
in their individual, human ways;
they lived the faith they had
and we all have faith
because of their faithfulness
in spite of their fears
