A SONG TO LIFE

Some say there is no God,
And that morality has nothing to do with saintliness,
with faith, or with the rules of a superior deity.
Some say that one can love
without God’s influence and guiding light…

Some say that there is light because the sun provides it,
and believe that peace on earth can be reached
through man’s ability to negotiate,
and that only man can find the road to peace…

They say justice is handed out by man’s ability to be fair,
impartial and honest,
they need no divine inspiration.
They say that there is beauty,
but it’s just nature.
They say we are not created,
but merely the result of evolution
and that we came from a one celled organism…

They may be right…

But I do not subscribe to their precepts.
I believe there are many things on this earth
that resemble Him who created Heaven and Earth.
He who fears nothing,
He who rejects those filled with pride…
He who rules with compassion.

There is no love if the one who is Love
had not put love in our hearts.
There is no morality without the knowledge of right and wrong
as He has taught us.

There is no justice without love…
There is no peace without justice…
There is no life without God.
There are no atheists.
They know there is a God
and that’s who they deny…

Life has not evolved, life was willed by Him
who ordered it to exist.
I sing a song to life because I am thankful…
I sing a song to life because it is a song of praise…
I sing a song to life because I know who has given it to me…
