What a beautiful life we live;
I cannot imagine a more glorious gift.
What a truly fabulous world this is,
No minor detail has been left amiss.

Some deny a higher power;
I cannot begin to imagine the pain,
Of trying to create, a shallow fable
Of such majesty,
That mortal understanding
Cannot begin to explain.

What is the painful consequence,
In accepting a spiritual domain?
What keeps science and divinity,
From joining in glorious refrain?

My world demands there be a God;
It lends meaning to my every day.
To imagine eternal darkness -
No family or friends -
Extracts purpose from this life
That I crave.

My faith demands that I reconcile,
With all others,
Whose convictions abide far from my own.
And it is with unbridled joy that I trust,
My merciful God,
To gather us in celestial home.

Jesus Christ is Lord!
