It’s
Easy
For someone to say
They don’t
Believe.
Look around you;
God gave us the melody,
We just have to
Find the lyrics and
Sing
The song growing ♫♫♫♫♪♪♪♪
Untamed
Inside of us.
God didn’t give us
Eyes
To see just Him.
God gave us
Eyes
To see all of the
Beauty
He created,
And to
Believe
In the beauty
Intricately locked
Within each of us.
God didn’t give us
Ears
To hear just Him,
He gave us
Ears
To hear Him in
Every sound:
The babies crying,
The birds chirping,
The
R
A
I
N
Falling.
God is a rainbow.
He quiets children,
Stops traffic,
And draws all
Weary eyes to Him.
But then He disappears,
Gone without a
Vestige to
Remember Him by,
And yet we still do
By hearing Him in
Everything.
If you look
Deep enough,
You can hear God
Within yourself.
God didn’t give us a
Voice
So we would
Only praise Him.
He gave us a
Voice
So we could whisper
“Help me,”
When we take
Wrong turns.
God gave us a
Voice
So we could also
Help others.
By asking him for
Help,
We’re putting to
Good use the
Reason
We were given
Voices
In the first place:
To ask for
Forgiveness.
God knows we are
Good people
And He forgives us,
All we have to do
Is forgive ourselves.
God didn’t give us the
Sense of touch
So we would
Try to feel His body,
His tangible perfection.
He gave it to us
To remind the world
That beauty
Lies within
Imperfection.
Diamonds are
Rugged and
UnEvEn,
Rainbows are
Abstract and short-lasting,
Humans are
Awkward and lopsided.
With pure perfection
Grows obligation
And the prospect of
Failure.
We believe in
God
By using the
Things He didn’t
Give us.
