This morning, I went out to get some last minute Christmas shopping done, (Yes, I really AM that stupid sometimes.) As I was, an event occurred that brought the holy spirit to my thoughts. When I got home, I was inspired to write the following poem for us this Christmas time.
While walking down the street
A sign on the wall I did meet.
With Jesus and Santa by a Christmas tree
And a message that said, “What myth do you see?”
These people say
there is no God
That he’s only a myth
A hoax, a façade.
That wars are waged
By religious fanatics
And the world would be better
Without all these dramatics.
And I became furious
I was fuming mad!
But then I heard God
And he sounded sad.
And God said to me,
“Why full of scorn?”
“You should be like me,
and for these people mourn.”
And he filled my mind
with thoughts not my choosing.
And showed me what
These people are losing.
There is no God
The fool says in his heart
And thus we can go
And do what we want.
To an atheist’s heart
Heaven’s never an end,
Take what you want
Who cares if you offend.
When you consider the cosmos
And their celestial dance
How can anyone believe
It was random chance?
For it was God who placed
The stars on their courses
Who gave us the trees
The birds and the horses.
To think we were made
Of hap-hazard fluff
It’d take more faith than a Christian
To believe in this stuff!
And what atheist has ever
Calmed a fear
Brought hope to the hopeless
Or dried a tear?
What artwork has
An atheist fashioned
Or beautiful song
Of love so impassioned?
How does an atheist
Help those in need
Or do they just wallow
In selfish greed?
Now with that in mind,
My heart it did melt
And I closed up my hands
And there I knelt.
I prayed to my savior
That their eyes be not closed
That they learn about him
And his love he composed.
So when you hear
An atheist say
“God is not real”
I say you should pray.
And when you are done
as they pass you by
Praise silent to yourself
“There but for God’s grace go I.”
