OK…it’s finally down to the last reason for faith…which is actually the first song on my Raise The Praise Vol 1 collection. This one is called “You Are”. You might say it’s based on one of the laws of thermodynamics that essentially says “you can’t get something from nothing”.

Believing that all we can see in our natural world, solar system, galaxy, and universe just “banged” into existence requires a blind faith that boggles the mind. It makes so much more sense (and it just so happens to be true) that a supernatural Creator designed it all. Everything works far too well for it to have been a happy accident. From the vast expanse of the universe to the irreducible complexity found in a single cell…we should be able to acknowledge that someone even larger and more complex made it.

Well, there are many who DO acknowledge. But there are so many more who just can’t bring themselves where the evidence leads. I hope you’re not one of them. I hope you have the humility to say something like this…

#1) You Are

I’m not amazing. I’m no king.
No, I’m not the God of anything…
Oh but You are. Jesus…You are.
I’m not a savior. I’m not pure.
No, I’m not the One who has the cure…
Oh but You are. Jesus…You are.

You are…the start and finish
You are…the Morning Star.
Your love will not diminish.
You’re the Life Everlasting.
You’re the Rock of offense.
You’re the Only Source of Truth
Who makes it all make sense.
If they ask who’s gonna mend
This broken world, I’ll commence
To saying You are. Jesus…You are.

I’m not perfection. I’m not near.
No, I’m not the One anyone should fear.
Oh, but You are. Jesus…You are.
I’m not the True Vine nor The Word.
No, I’m not the Amen that we’ve heard.
Oh, but You are. Jesus…You are.
