A priest made the sign of a cross
Then knelt to pray to his boss
A pigeon flew by
And baptised the guy
To prove prayers do not gather moss
I took a look around me;
And I see many things I don't understand;
Why?, WHY?
Is it so hard when I'm sure that someone is responsible for all these things;
I don't understand;
There is a GOD
Why? don't I understand;
There is a GOD
There must be one someone who is responsible;
There's a God
I don't understand all those nature laws;
I don't understand why sin runs rapid;
Yet I partake of the Celebration of Condemnation;
Why? don't I understand;
There is a GOD
I don't understand there is a God there must be someone who is responsible
There must be one someone who is incomparable
I was born yet I've died;
And I've sinned so now I cry;
Why is it so hard when I'm sure that someone is responsible for all these things;
There is a GOD;
Why? don't I understand;
There is a GOD
There must be one someone who is responsible;
There's a God

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 1976©
he is by your side
his sprit is wide
you see a growing tree
thata heavenly
you see the snow an rain
he is the pain
as it fall he is that wall
this is not a clown
he in your life apart take tjis to heart
THERE IS A GOD
LOOK AROUNDt
there is a God
from who cometh
the air we all
can't live with out
if not God
who controls nature
if not God
how come the world
could be with out seeds
and were cometh the first
seeds of nature if not
from God
who strike the thunder
and shower our plants
with natural rain
if not the nature
from God
God is everywhere
in diverse connection
he lives in all I see
he lives in me
he live in you
he lives in the world
and beyond
who protects
the world to heed
all we could afford
to live for is not
human
if true
I tell you
there is a God
I lay back without a cushion
Dressed handsome as I will be
There's no light or repercussion
No light that I will see
I have no issues with life as
such , I loved it very much
The sound is clear I'm full of
fear now how this happen to
me
I thought this happened to
people and and could never
upon myself
I'm going to be judged the
good deeds
and that is all my wealth
Then I remember that crime I
did do my time
I cheated even when I repayed
Then I smile in my cot as I
know I won't rot
I see white cloaks approach
and parade
There is a God you know, I feel it in my heart.
My soul is going there to him when we have to part.
Take a tree and make it grow, hide the sun and its glow.
Make a mother born a child, tame the beast from the wild.
Move a mountain across the state, even change the hand of fate.
All these things man can do, and we prove it, that is true.
But what gave us these powers all combined?
Seek the truth of which you'll find.
What gave us this power, just a seed?
Much more my friend, God and his creed.
For without the seed to fill life's need,
these things can not be done.
So you see, it is plain to me,
he surely exist, God must be.
A supreme power sure and true,
that gave the seed of life to me and you.
I know he is there waiting for me,
and when I go, with him I'll be.
There is a God you know, I feel it in my heart.
My soul is going there to him when we have to part.
THERE IS A GOD
There is a God who made man
A God who made water
And a God who fashioned the earth.
He is the only One called God
The One who sits on the throne
The Inhabiter of eternity
And the God of infinite wonders.
This is not an exaggeration
I only pray it is a good enough representation.
God in the midst of the seven candlesticks
God on the lips of the innumerable angelic beings
God in the hearts of the redeemed saints
God in me; the greatest authority
God with me; the mightiest power.
he the sun
its a brunning gun
that you can't see
but he the key
to get
if you won't sucess
you see the tree
you see the bee
thats, part of god
you see the rain
and others things
thats god
he is as smooth as lard
THERE IS A GOD
When I gaze into the evening sky,
watching planes, insects, and birds go by,
I'm amazed at how they all can fly.....
I know there is a God!
For every hungry child that is fed,
for every bit of shelter put over our heads,
because for me---Jesus bled.....
I know there is a God!
When I behold God's glory each and every day,
when one who was lost finds his way,
when those who would not, begin to pray...
I know there is a God!
Whenever I'm alone and sometimes down,
I feel an awesome touch and hear a gentle sound,
I then know where help can be found.......
There is a God!
