Carried

by

Richard Betts Jr.

Carried through the thunder, clutching our shame,
Some accept the offering, others refuse the blame.

Running without knowing, running across the field,
Can't see where we're going and so we need a shield.

Hear the voices calling, but never see the face,
Feeling as if you're falling, but never press the case.

Carried by believing, lifted through the storms,
Carried by deceiving, to save those who aren't so sure.

Carried by faith, which is good and very fine,
But be careful when your faith is a faith that is blind.

For blind faith smothers questions and drowns the anwers you drink.
Blind faith narrows your vision and doesn't allow you to think.

So, believe! Believe with all your heart.
But remember to question, the things you are taught.
