Increase our faith Faith is like a well; it started like a trickle of baptismal water, Faith is personal to each of us, Be grateful for faith, the gift of God. And let’s be confident in its growth. Like a stone thrown into the well For in the bottom of the well is the home of God, In the peace and silence of its depths We are grateful for the water that lasts
