WITHOUT GOD
WITHOUT GOD

Think the world is awful now?
As bad as it could be?
Things could be much worse than this
Just read on and you'll see!

Everything that's wrong today
Messed up beyond repair
How much bleaker would it seem
If the Lord no longer cared?

Without God, we'd have no purpose
No meaning, end or goal
Without God, no one would ever learn
To appreciate their soul!

Without God, there'd be no mercy
No man would have a chance
We'd pass by those less fortunate
Without a single thought or glance

Without God here to teach us
Or His Bible to show the way
We would founder helplessly
Unsure what to do or say!

Without God, there'd be no heaven
For we'd have hell right here on earth
Without God's love to show us all
Just how much we're really worth!

Without God, yes, we would indeed
All surrender to despair
For without Him, we'd never see
Hope blossom anywhere...

But the night still ends in sunrise
Rainbows still follow storms
Clouds still have silver linings
Because God's presence can't be scorned

Even though the outlook may seem bad
When subjected to inspection
As long as God is in the mix
There's cause for celebration

For in the ancient tug-of-war
Between the evil and the good?
In the end, God's in control
So things'll turn out like they should!
