Can’t Handle the Proof
We demand the evidence,
A clear and certain sign,
We show no bit of reticence
Ask God to please divine.
Here a little miracle,
Or there a stellar light
To shine upon our darkness
And give us all insight.
But what if God’s not hidden,
Not remote or too aloof,
What if we’re just blind
And cannot handle proof?
What if all the world’s a stage
And the play’s long been going on,
But we’re not paying attention
Or listening to the song?
What if the heavens shout ‘glory’
And the rocks and all the trees
But we’re too damn distracted
To fall down on our knees?
What if believing leads to seeing
Not the other way around,
What if believing’s our 3-D glasses
To see the more profound.
In a world of truth decay
We perish for lack of hope
We settle for compensation
For that which helps us cope.
A visionary person
Is one who believes the most,
She sees the path before her,
But she trusts the Holy Ghost.
If you ignore all the evidence,
Then you cannot handle proof,
Only open hands receive it,
Only open minds find truth.
