I Am Because God Is

I Am Because GOD IS! If the spirit's not everything, poetry's dust And if God's not our author, the future is rust, And if I'm not right well then how am I wrong? Or have you known from birth all the words of your song? I'm not trying to tell you what I say is RIGHT! Just that FAITH is my answer when things "Bump" at night, I can study creation, but God's beyond ken, And I postulate FAITH is one way humans win! If my faith's not the truth, well for me it still works, If I'm right and God's there, there might even be perks, And if love's not His essence, then what would it be? And if love, I think soul, hearts that love God are key! But I'm not like Pascal; I'm not making a bet, If you proved that God's dead would not move me and yet, It does sadden me truly if you doubt His ways, Is your death real, God dead? Simply logic forays! Can you hear me? Consider this world, then, His Will. Are we not well provisioned? Do you feel a chill? How can man fear soul's loss who trusts Justice is fact, But that Grace is sufficient, because of Christ's act! Long Tooth August 25, 2018
