Losing Faith, Finding God

[Anonymous]

Love the poem, love the intro.

Sorry you feel trapped. I agree with many of your feelings, but have hope that the gospel of Jesus Christ is large enough to allow for even me and my issues. I think it is. I agree with you that there are many rigid things now in the church that seem needless. I’m trying to shed those without shedding too much.

I look forward to hearing more of your comments, and learning from your perspectives, as I feel I share many of your views. Welcome.

Losing Faith, Finding God

Revelation from heav’n I grasped

My hands in prophets hands were clasped

In my heart whispered God’s own voice

In promised kingdoms my heart rejoiced

In God’s own house I entered in

I strove for virtue and wept for sin

But reason’s thirst did inward cry

I gave it sip, and falsehood died

Revealed the scriptures mortal pen

Fell prophet’s mantle, shew common men

And knew the voices I thought divine,

Had sprung within, were always mine.

Yet is beauty lost at reason’s price?

Is goodness now spoiled, all virtue as vice?

But if the beauty of God had sprung from man

Let it grow in the vessel where it all began.

Thus I found that the divine was set free.

Fallen from heaven and found within me.

Like the poem, is it yours?
