Why?

Since someone asked I yesterday, Why do I believe?
I was stumped by the timing of the question.
So, it made I wonder…
Hence, giving it some thought,
I decided to write it this way and let you know.

For what I know,
Your love is unconditional.
What we do and don't,
What we did and didn't, You'd still love us.

From what I've seen,
You're omnipotent.
Where we care or not,
Believe or not, You'd still watch over us.

What I've experienced,
Through the good and harsh times
You put me there only to realize
the greater good in life.

Many may not know,
Of Your Love or of what You’re capable of
But giving them another day to believe,
is the most generous act of kindness.

Many friends we have,
But such comfort comes only come from You.
I could be the sickest person known,
But You’d still wipe my slate clean.

Greatest is Your care,
You sent Your Son down, in the form of man,
to go through all pains and temptations.
Just to let us know that You know how it feels.

Mighty are Your deeds,
For even before we were born,
You knew all our faults
And still shed innocent blood for us.

How easily You break life down for me,
I'd never see it by myself.
Your simplicity has thought me deeper meaning
Through the acts of random kindness.

And, for all that I am mocked at,
Only You will understand me truly,
'Cause no matter what anyone says,
You're still the staff I grip onto.

May this time of mine be full-filling to You,
and may I be blessed by Your Guidance.
Until I close my eyes, shall I speak of
Your Mighty hand that worked upon me.
