From my heart
There is a peace, a joy
That comes from believing
He is always with me,
He silences the worries,
Fills me up with hope and courage,
Inspires me to give away
All the love that He stimulates
With the grace that He provides
Grace that is so much - alive,
Like the dazzling stars at night
Like the sun who shines so bright
Like the wonder of a butterfly
Grace like this is beyond description
It is powerful, bringing the soul conviction
Through the spirit, sending sweet
Feelings of love that kisses away the tear
Flowing from the memory, the fear
That seems like it can inhibit every beauty,
Dissuade the music, the dance, the love
That abides inside the heart…
Who knows He is alive – He has survived
The skeptic, the cynic, the pessimist…
All the doubters who bring with them –
Despair, disillusion and discouragement
He is ALIVE – a all-consuming fire,
Stirring up the soul to delight
In all the beauty He has inspired
The miracles, the wonder, the peace
That flows down from the throne
Where His love can defeat any adversary!

Perennial doubter...
...ceaselessly devouring books
...no time for God's truth*...
2Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

I am who I am
a thinking mine
who questions
who ponders and probes
and who knows what else
Do not measure
me by the same book
you drop on others'
well-meaning heads.

Such a person are they who waste all the time they were given
Too "stupid" to pray as with many demonic spirits they are living
In so being tricked and thus allowing yourself to be pulled away
How so many they afflict but you haven't even yet seen the day
They all act so very brave not having one single iota of a clue
Basically you're already a slave giving satan all of God's due
The anger that this will provoke or the laughter from behind
In never thus knowing His yoke and forever remaining blind
I myself am basically powerless and know it or not so are you
For only the Creator can so bless one day you'll know this true
But it is within your wicked heart in denying your very Savior
Free will means "your part" forgetting not He knows your core
There is no sugar coating here for you are in a dangerous place
If you could visualize hell clear you would cry out for God's grace
But let me tell you just one thing and don't you ever forget this
If His praises you won't sing, then it's all of His Glory that you miss
Matthew 20:25-28

The Questions of a Doubter by Kenny Davis
Lord, do I have what it takes
To sow a single seed
If I am too comfortable to follow
Do I have what it takes to lead
Lord, can I deal with the things,
I feel come upon me too soon
Do I have what it takes to get through the morning
Only to make to an afternoon
Lord, do I have it in me
To forgive the habitual liar
Does my soul have what it takes to leave the ground
In order to be elevated higher
Lord, am I to endure so much
Only to gain what little I need
Lord, is my soul really built to take all of this
In order for me to be who you need me to be
Lord, how much longer
Must I endure the hurt
Tell me is it really all worth it
For me to inherit the earth
Lord, what do you see in me
That you trust I will endure
Lord, is going through all of this
Truly needed for me to mature
Lord, just looking for understanding
And a mere moment to vent
Allow me to wait patiently
For all of my answers to be sent
Thank you lord for
Putting my troubled mind at ease
Thanks you for listening
From me, your child on his knees

Limerick : Once a Great Doubter climbed Jack’s Bean Stalk
for the raped 5-year-old Indian girl next door
Once a Great Doubter climbed Jack’s Bean Stalk
Cried : « For what Crime 5-year-old was debauched ? »
He got no true hearing
Slid down no more doubting
Now stalks 4-year-olds on dark side-walk.
