Yes I believe in God
I believe in God
the father of all
I believe in the
Ten Commandments
God handed to Moses
A better set of
rules to live your life by
Does not exist
I’m not comfortable
calling myself a Christian however
I was baptized a Christian
And raised as one
And I attend a
Christian church
But I'm not a true
Christian
I don’t turn the
other cheek
Who is there?
In my darkest hours
When pain wracks my body
When dark thoughts plague me
Who is it who sustains me?
Who is there?
At times of anguish
When I feel so alone
When I feel all hope is gone
Who lifts me and guides me
Who is there?
In the depths of my despair
When I see no end
When I seek release
Who is it?
Who will take my pain
He is there
When the pain ends
When darkness is banished
In the light of love
My lord god will keep me
There is a famous quote about God
Not giving you more than you can handle
Well there are times that I just wish
He didn't have quite so much faith in me
At a catholic school at lunch time one day
As The children queued up in an orderly way
The first thing that confronted the pupils
On the end of the counter was a large pile of
apples
By the apples a nun had written a note saying
"Take only ONE because God is watching."
As they made their way along the counter
The canteen rang out with childish laughter
Chocolate chip cookies stood in a large pile
With a label which made them all smile
A child had written a note for the pupils,
"Take all you want. God is watching the
apples."
A
Dad was on the beach with his children
When
his four-year-old son ran up to him,
Took
his hand and dragged to the shore
Where
a seagull lay dead in the sand before him
"Daddy, what happened to it?" the boy asked
Dad replied "He died and went to Heaven son,"
The boy thought a moment and then said,
"Did
God throw him back down here then?"
In
my latter years I only ask
That
God grant me in my senility
To
forget people I never liked at any rate
And
the good fortune
To
run into the people that I do like
And
the eyesight to differentiate
Six-year-old Ellie was in church
With
four-year-old Luke her brother
They
were sitting in the church
Attending
a family wedding together
Luke laughed, sang, and talked out loud
Pulled faces and generally messed about
Finally,
his big sister had had enough
Luke
was spoiling her special day out
"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."
"Why?” Luke asked “Who's going to stop me?".
Ellie pointed to the back of the church and said,
"Those
two men by the door are hushers see"
