Is My Faith Strong Enough?

The road has been rough

Full of temptations tough.

With sun and wickedness

To repentance and gladness

Being born in the church

And, early, learning the word

With borrowed faith and light

I follow trying to choose the right

I hope someday along the road

I might develop faith of my own

With a grand conversion story

Of how I found my testimony.

But alas my story differs

From that of a convert

Who knows the difference

And has an amazing experience

Because others besides me fell away

Is why I tremble here today

“Is my faith strong enough?

Do I have the needed love?”

I don’t even remember

When I became a member

Or why, with my father

Did I enter the water

But here I am, look at me

My faith was a borrowed seed

Slowly growing within me

And now it’s an enormous tree

I know this to be true

Not just for me, but for you

We may not be the lost sheep

Or even the humble or the meek

But if we do our best

Putting our faith to the test

With or without an experience

The Lord will make up the difference

So now let us together comprehend

This is how to endure to the end
