Stepping Out

I’ve heard, you’ve heard, everyone’s heard

the bright-eyed and hopeful joyous say

“I’m stepping out in faith,

God will see me through”

and while I don’t know about you

I know that I’ve often wanted to ask

“Whose voice have you heard?

On what is your faith grounded?”

because if we haven’t heard God speak

faith is less involved than wishful hope

and any step we take

however holy

is not of God
