Faith Tested by Fire
A Poem of Praise
by Kimberly Davis
The darkness tempts to come and sit heavy
As trials come from the East and the West.
Yet, our souls cling to the blessed hope
Of Hashem’s coming and eternal rest.
Though our faith is dragged through the fire—
Tested with scorching flames,
Yet, beloved Jews will praise Him—
Hashem, our G-d, what a mighty name!
The name to which every knee will bow
And every tongue confess.
And so, it’s to this name we hold
even in the shadows and valley of death.
For in the fire, our weeds, they wither.
Leaving foundations of burnished gold.
Stronger and stronger, closer and closer
The likened image of Hashem behold!
So, though the outward man may perish,
The inner man shines as righteousness abounds.
As the light of Hashem beats back the darkness—
Incorruptible peace and joy are found.
Am Yisrael Chai!
