People tell me it's easy to believe in a God
that a growing population fails to accept
They tell me it's childish to seek his help,
To thank him, talk to him and show respect
It's a fairytale they say, so why cling on?
Why bother with faith when all has failed
Why believe in a Father you cannot see?
Society's ship has long since sailed.
You have it easy, they sneer at me
You have someone to blame and ask for all!
But we are abandoned, where has He gone?
Why do we have nowhere else to fall?
They ridicule the fact that I feel secure
Instead they feel that hope is lost
Can't accept the idea that I have somewhere to turn.
That there is no payment, there is no cost!
It's difficult speaking to those stubborn hearts.
I tell them through tears that they can choose
They turn scientific and attack me with facts.
The wars, the pain, the loved ones they lose.
Then it turns to abuse, the laughter and jokes.
And sometimes I feel so morally wrong
They want their answers and challenge me so
And ask me what's kept me so faithful so long.
People tell me it's easy to believe in a God
And yes faith itself can be quick to hold
But the people around me are hard to convince
Only accepting what they have been sold.
