PROVE GOD EXISTS

You ask,

‘Prove God exists’.

I ask,

where is the home of love,

the storehouse of beauty

or the source of music?

Tell me

where I can find the spring of joy

or the heart of wonder?

Show me 

where compassion can be found,

or where mercy and pity live.

God is the air I breathe,

the earth I touch,

the seas in which I swim.

God is the ocean of life

in whom we live and move and have our being,

whose offspring I am and without whom I cannot exist;

the One who is and was and ever shall be.

God is all that is most noble

seeking the nobility in me.

All that you and I can be

as we say our “yes” to that call.

What need I prove

– only that I am not deaf to that call.
