Life Without God


Life without God would be a big question mark ~
The whys, why nots, what nows, where tos and how wills,
If not for Him, we would miss that joyous spark;

Life is a composition of divine stills,
Where God's present in the hills and the valleys,
The whys, why nots, what nows, where tos and how wills;

Without faith in Him, we will not feel at ease,
The whole creation declares this simple truth,
Where God's present in the hills and the valleys;

Man does not know if he will die in his youth,
Or live to a hundred, only God can tell,
The whole creation declares this simple truth;

His thirst for peace, Almighty alone can quell,
It is His pure grace that we're alive today,
Or live to a hundred, only God can tell;

Accept God’s hand in your life, you won’t feel grey,
Life without God would be a big question mark,
It is His pure grace that we're alive today,
If not for Him, we would miss that joyous spark.

"Life is a composition of divine stills," Love this! For sure; God is in control. I should not be here, knowing others who have done less and not survived. It is a mystery, I am content to accept and no further wonder. I do my best to serve, for nothing is of value if God is excluded from the production.

Can't imagine life without God. In Malta, Easter is almost over.
