Like a ship without a sail,
A train without a rail,
A piano without keys,
A forest without trees...
So is life without Faith.
Like dawn without light,
An eye without sight,
A branch without the vine,
A year without springtime...
So is life without Hope.
Like a song without a tune,
A flower without a bloom,
A cloud without rain,
A candle without a flame...
So is life without Love.

But since we belong to the day,
let us be self-controlled, putting
on faith and love as a breastplate,
and the hope of salvation as a
helmet. (I Thessalonians 5:8)
