A FIRM FOUNDATION

A FIRM FOUNDATION

by Roberta N. Tuthill

   

 ‘Tis a beautiful sight to behold,

More precious than silver or gold:

A home built on faith,

A foundation of grace,

Watching God-given talents unfold.

 

A household established on faith,

With Christ as foundation and base,

Its walls firm and stout,

Keeping storms and threats out,

Children fed and nurtured with grace.

 

The Lord’s admonition and awe

Build a home out of stone, not of straw,

That will stand through the gale,

Though the winds howl and wail.

Lives of faith overcome every flaw.

 

Faith sends out a signal to God,

Matters not that our nature was flawed.

He shaped us from dust,

But with strong upward thrust.

In Christ we are sanctified sod!
