The Freedom To Believe

This world is a complex one
so many think so many various views
how are we to think about this sensibly
there's a need to consider what's really true

There's a great need to know how it began
I mean regarding this world and all we see
nonsensical is any view other than a creation
look at history to see how we don't agree

The scriptures are the only reliable source
anything else is man's ideas self-made
God the creator is the source of all things
before creation, there was nothing been laid

Wars, hatred, and death will be
no matter men's attempt to find peace
till God is given His rightful first place
but man wants first place, ignores God's pleas

Religion won't ever solve this dilemma
God requires a real-living relationship
remembering God's promise to stay
close by you bringing true fellowship

God sent Jesus to rectify man's problem
that our sin be blotted out for good
so to receive the freedom to believe
then God will be rightly understood

We have come a long way with the benefits of science, but in some ways, for some, it took away the freedom to believe. Your beautiful poem is so true Gordon, all we need is the freedom to believe. Thanks again for posting such a delightfully true poem. Best wishes Gordon. In my quiet voiceless world, I often think of you. Wen
