THERE IS A GOD - Inspiration for Today
Dear Friends,
The world has weighed heavily on my heart these last few weeks. There is so much suffering, confusion, fear, and apprehension.
During these times what separates Christians from
those who do not know
Jesus is an ever-present understanding
that there is God who loves us—a
God who sees our pain and
understands our hearts. We can go to him.
I offer to you this song that I wrote and recorded several years
ago.
I hope and pray it blesses you and reminds you that we are not
alone in our daily struggles.
Remember that the Father is with us, through the presence of his
Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. How can we not tell others who do
not yet know Him that there is a God?
There Is A God
© words & music by Richard Abanes
Listen to the wind,
See an eagle soaring in the air,
Feel the sunlight,
Hear the ocean splashing on the shore,
A rainbow in the sky,
A leaf that's blowing by,
Everything that I can see, tells me,
There is a God.
A snow-covered mountain,
Roses by the fountain in the park,
Shadows in the night,
Cast beneath the glowing of the moon,
A baby I hear cry,
The emotion of a sigh,
Yes, everything that I can see, tells me,
There is a God.
I believe there is a God who loves.
There is a God who cares.
There is a God who sees our pain; who knows the scares we bear.
There is a God who hears us; hears every prayer we pray.
Our days are formed by his plans. Our lives rest in his hands.
There is a God. I know there is a God.
People everywhere,
Wonder what this world is all about.
Looking everyday,
Through the darkly-tinted windows of their souls.
There are so many ask, "Why?"
"Why do we live? Why do we die?"
Someone's got to try to get them to see,
There is a God.
I believe there is a God who loves.
There is a God who cares.
There is a God who sees our pain; who knows the scares we bear.
There is a God who hears us; hears every prayer we pray.
Our days are formed by his plans. Our lives rest in his hands.
There is a God I know. And I will serve him forever.
There is a God who loves.
There is a God who cares.
There is a God who sees our pain; who knows the scares we bear.
There is a God who hears us; hears every prayer we pray.
Our days are formed by his plans. Our lives rest in his hands.
There is a God. I know there is a God.
I wish you peace in HIM,
Richard Abanes
