Status Quo or Faith?
Who sets the standards is it God's word or His plan?
From what I've seen, throughout the years, it always has been man...
Man, his spouse, have been the cause of all the evil that we see...
but why would God allow that choice be made for you or me?
I didn't ask to be here, I didn't ask for life, I didn't ask to know deep love with another's wife!
I sent a prayer and there she was, an angel sent for me
how could I know, with status quo, if she was heavenly?
I used my faith as I was taught and then the love I found
is wrong, is bad, has doomed my soul should I go in the ground.
Now this is where I question what is His will and what's not,
if we follow man's law, or His plan, which one will make us rot?
For in this modern world we made where man has all control,
we're told to believe in His word but led farther from the fold.
And those that wrote this Book of His are fallible by law
and if they're men, born out of sin, how could that word be pure?
My list of why's, what if's and how's are excruciatingly long
keeps me from my ability of blind faith in unknowns.
Without this faith it's man that tells me I won't know His love divine
How do I know that You are not a construct of their minds?
So how do I decide, which correctly is the way,
to find myself in belief, and faithful when I pray?
How will I know, if You sent all the signs that I may see?
With faith not strong, burden not gone, what hope is there for me?

You honor me with your words and they are greatly appreciated. I just sat here and wrote that because that's how I'm feeling most times. Whenever I talk about faith with the faithful they have a blind one I just can't seem to achieve....ah well, at least I have writing...thanks again for the comment...
