Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Faith was the consideration
tangible belief in the unknown
the unseen promise, made the covenant
the contract, the bargain,
between God and Man
A constellation, a beach
a sky of stars or a field of sand
so shall your children be,
if you go where I call
if you leave all,
and follow me
Your belief,
not your works,
your deeds
will buy the kingdom

sermon, “Peculiar Treasures II: Abraham on the Move”
by the Rev. Peter Hey,
Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH, 2/17/08
