Simple Faith

Our Father, remove from us the sophistication of our age,

and the skepticism that has come, like frost,

to blight our faith and make it weak.

Family Worship
Nathan Greene

Bring us back to a faith,

that makes us great and strong,

a faith that enables us 

to love and to live,

the faith by which we are triumphant,

and the faith by which alone

we can walk with Thee.

We pray for the return of that simple faith,

that old-fashioned trust in God,

that made strong and great

the homes of our ancestors who

built this good land,

and who in building left us our heritage.

In the strong name of Jesus, Our Lord,

we make this prayer.

Amen.
