LIVE by HEART

By Amanda Dieppa 3/24/04 You sit there aimlessly waiting Letting life pass you by You say my God is not for you Can you give me a good reason why? You tell me that my faith Is a helpful little crutch You won’t be fooled so easily You need evidence, proof, something you can touch Some claim there is no God When they serve one everyday It takes the form of self And always wants its way You feel a sense of emptiness Tormenting you inside You wallow in self pity Controlled by selfish pride Investing in things that are meaningless Things that will never last You refuse to surrender your life Because you were hurt in the past Refusing to acknowledge God You pick my faith apart You live by your mighty intellect As I live by my joyful heart My faith is a powerful catalyst Your faith in self, a hindering block You build your life on sand As I cling to my Eternal Rock Cling to your own intelligence And you’ll drown in a selfish soul Trying to fit everything but God Into an empty, God-shaped hole. Stop wasting your precious time Purposeless and blind Escape from the prison of pride So on that day, when God delivers evidence, proof, something you cannot deny – You won’t be left behind.
