I Pushed God Away

Long ago when life began I didn’t know the way I was lost but thought I knew And that’s what I would say Stubborn and rebellious I followed with the crowd I argued with the best of them Sometimes my wrong was loud Religion, just a bunch of junk And God a fantasy for sure Agnostic steeped in science My old manner was impure I didn’t care and I kept running I kept God out of my day But He kept coming patiently Always showing me the way Evolution, that’s what I believed Taught surely in the school We all came from lower forms Don’t you be a fool! But we reasoned, if evolving Where would the process end? Possibilities are endless And on progress we depend So God must be a certainty In an infinity of years Yet still I went along my way With no tears or hidden fears But I knew now it was possible That God was really there But I’d never seen or heard And I really didn’t care But one day two ladies stopped me And showed me Words to make me think The had me read the Word of God And Holy Spirit let me drink Have you thought about eternal life? And if it’s really true Would you like to find out? If that’s the way for you Say this little prayer with us Just give God a chance Right then I gave my heart to God And felt like I would dance I changed inside and then I knew My fight was finally done I had found that God was real And I had met God’s holy Son
