A Rambling Confession of Faith

I believe because it makes sense to me, even though I don’t understand. It seems so much more reasonable somehow to be part of a bigger plan. The infinite complexity, the strangest twist of fate Only when I see God underneath, is it something to which I can relate. At times, He seems so far away, a forbidding force of reckoning Other times I hear his small, still voice with gentle comfort, beckoning Through endless years in countless ways Some have been punished, some have been saved. Good men have trusted and changed the world Evil man have fallen and been made absurd. Though I cry out with tearful plea To see how it could ever be That the Lord, who sent his Son to save Still lets evil misbehave How in His name so many lie And for His sake so many die. The complex gift You gave to man To facilitate a master plan That we can choose to love and serve That one day we we earn what we deserve In our time upon this earth From the moment of our birth The path before us is one of choice We determine how we use our voice Our time our skills Our wins, our fails Perhaps one day by his grace I will see Him face-to-face And all I wonder will be known Or perhaps, instead I will have grown To trust that trust is all I need In the end, He will succeed I just need to do my part So each day I make a brand new start
