Faith is like electricity
You can’t see it
But you can see the
light
That emanates from it

A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
Wear your smile
Enjoy Life
If only for awhile
Enjoy the moment
It’s a special gift
That’s heaven sent
Life and death
Are separated
By a single breath
Then more or less
In an instant
Nothing-ness?
Then the sight
At the tunnels end
Of heavens light
HE BELIEVES IN YOU
Humanists and atheists
Refute God’s existence
But in all honesty
They mount a futile
resistance
Because for all their
vehement
Creation of fuss
The great lord God
Believes in them as
well as us
YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE
He lived his life in the shadows
Hiding from Gods light
Not acknowledging his
existence
Thinking he was out of
sight
He thought he walked
the road alone
Without the Lord by
his side
But at the hour of his
death
His faith could no
longer be denied
On the darkness of this
death
God lights a light to
show his way
Shining his light of
love
To comfort those left
in disarray
As he walks in Gods
light
Within the sound of
Heavens bells
God illuminating his
path
Now he walks with the
angels
FAITH IS LIKE # 1
Faith is like electricity
You can’t see its
traits
But you can see the
light
That it generates
WHERE WAS GOD?
When Haiti shook
And the old colonial
Structures fell
Who was to blame?
When the rains fell on
Madeira
Making rivers of mud
Where once were roads
Who was to blame?
When earthquake and
tsunami
Wreaked their havoc
On Chile’s coast
Who was to blame?
The zealots speak of
God’s wrath,
Divine retribution
Against the wicked of
the world
Smiting the
transgressors
But it’s not the
wicked who suffer
It’s the most humble
and devout
The poor and the needy
Who suffer the most
Why would God do such
a thing?
What would be gained?
It’s not a Godly act
But rather that of a
tyrant
That’s not what my God
would do
My God is a loving God
Not a wrathful being
The secular blame God
For not stopping
natural disasters
They don’t believe in
him
But blame him anyway
Where was God?
What was God doing
when he was needed?
When something
wonderful happens
They praise nature’s
ingenuity
Yet when tragedy
strikes
It’s “where was God?”
God is not to blame
It is not within his
power to prevent disasters
So he does what he can
He comforts and
supports
Eases suffering and
ends pain
But my God is not to
blame
Mother Nature is the
culprit
The planet is angry
with mankind
And unleashes these
acts of spite
To punish us for our
indifference
Mother Nature roars
And defines our
insignificance
When the earth moves
And mountains split
When winds tear up all
before them
And the seas rise up
We are powerless
But we are not alone
When we are at our
most vulnerable
Who do we call upon?
God
Whoever that God might
be
Mine is an
understanding God
A compassionate God
OH GOD TO YOU WE PRAY
Oh God to you we pray
To let peace on earth
come our way
Oh God to you we pray
Would that we could
have our way
Oh God grant this day
That peace on earth
will come our way
Oh God, we hear you
say
That peace on earth
will come our way
If we could from this
day
Just live Christmas
every day
