Faith and fact
Faith and fact went sailing.
In a little open boat.
The sun was bright, the wind was right
The waves did gently roll.
But clouds came in, the sun did hide.
The breeze became a gale
The waters cold, began to foam
It broke their little sail
Fact let out an awful cry
His heart was filled with dread
It was a fact. Without a doubt
They both would soon be dead
Then truth stood up in loud rebuke
And calmed the raging storm
The wind did cease, the sea lay down
The sun was bright and warm.
So, what is this? Fact did ask
That truth should have such power
I know the facts, I saw it right
But could not save the hour
Truth replied, don’t you know?
Facts produce no hope
Set your course with Jesus Christ
Your hope will start to grow
Fact and faith went sailing
In a little open boat
Here is a lesson to be learned
If truth aint there, don’t go!
