Free Spirit

God is my spirit 
God is my soul 
God is the one 
Who makes my life whole. 

I've no need for religion 
For me to believe 
For God is the love 
That resides in me.

Hi John, I think the appropriate thing to say here is congratulations on being a good and ethical person. That counts for more than anything else for all of us. Smiles!!

I think you have penned modern man's farewell to religion... which is always followed by fanatics' return to it, as we see throughout the world today, in Africa, the Middle East, and even in parts of the USA.

I'm 100% sold on the Bible as the GPS man needs to live a godly life. Sadly, religion often distorts God's precious word

Dear brother John, as long as we live as good as one should, we’ll be alright if we’re guided by the Light… Sis Beryl

Reads like a prayer John, if you have your faith do you really need religion?. Tom
