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!
