A genealogy of Jesus Christ son of David, son of Abraham.
Abraham was the father of Isaac.
Not all in this genealogy acted like a lamb.
Of virtue in some there was certainly a lack.

Is faith taught.
Does it come through wisdom.
Or is faith caught.
A gift undeserved of his kingdom.

How lucky those to whom faith comes naturally.
With me it is a never ending struggle.
I try, I fail dismally.
But I do not resent the trouble.

I will keep trying.
And not perpetually to be resisting.
