Show Me God

By

Anita Allenby

GOD is a fable or GOD is dead,

I've often heard people say,

A GOD that no one ever sees,

Is a myth from a bygone day.

Show Him to me if you can,

Toss in a miracle or two,

I know you can't, so why should I?

Believe this trip you do.

Some cannot believe what they cannot see,

Too worldly and wise are they,

To feel more than scorn for the those who believe,

Like poor blind children at play.

So how can they continue day after day

Breathing unseen air so free?

And acknowledge the warmth of the sun

When its rays they cannot see?

Who has ever seen a thought?

Or an idea conceived in the mind?

Does Love appear in solid form?

And sadness cast a shadow behind?

Let me see time as it passes by

Show me loneliness and pain

To say that they do not exist

Would be denying truth again

There are countless things we cannot see

Yet we never doubt they are there

So how can we doubt the existence of GOD?

And the comfort we find in prayer?

GOD reveals Himself in untold ways

He hears each thought and prayer.

He's Love, He's Joy, He's truth, He's strength,

How blind to doubt He's there.
