Analysis of Faith Has Inward Light



There is divine intention, no matter what the plight,
if in the fourth dimension your faith has Inward Light.
There may be mine disasters with stealthy gas of death.
Trust in the Holy Masters gives worth to wasted breath.
There may be tsunamic floods with tidal waves of shock.
Trust in the Holy Purebloods gives purpose to the knock.
There may be health dilemmas with many shades of frail.
Trust in the Holy Lemmas gives measure to the scale.
There may be tornadic winds with twisting gales of spoil.
Trust in the Holy Off-spins gives value to turmoil.
There may be financial woes with ample loads of lack.
Trust in the Holy Heroes gives meaning to swept-back.
There may be firestorm blazes with licking flames of hell.
Trust in the Holy Phases gives reason to farewell.
There is divine intention, no matter what the case,
if in the fourth dimension your faith remains in place.
