My Song About Science and Religion (beliefs, faith, God, heaven)

[DeepShadow]

While I didn't actually write this song, I've kinda made it "mine." As a science educator with deep religious beliefs, I've been on both sides of this stupid Intelligent Design debate for far too long, and it really hurts me to see two things I care deeply for pitted against each other needlessly, like pit bulls. Anyways, this song is from the cantata "From Cumorah's Hill," written by Janice and Steven Perry, and it expresses my views on science and religion.

The Power of God

Listen to the wind blow, lonely as a sigh
Nothing overhead but empty sky.
Look up at starlight, on a dark night
Are we all alone, an island in space?
Or is there a plan where I have a place?

Could it be that Heaven is man's imagining,
Reaching out for hope in childish dreams?
Stories so old then, we've outgrown them!
Has God gone away, or hidden His face?
Have miracles ceased to be?

(Chorus)
But the power of God is plain to see;
There are wonders on every hand
For those who will see through eyes of faith
Beyond the mind of man!
For how could we hope
To see His face
Who never could see His hand?

Some would see a rainbow as nothing more than light;
Others see a promise and a sign!
Everyday wonders without number
Are here all around, and wait to be found
By those who have eyes to see!

(Chorus)
For the power of God is plain to see;
There are wonders on every hand
For those who will see through eyes of faith
Beyond the mind of man!
For how could we hope
To see His face,
Who never could see His hand?

Listen to the wind blow...then listen once again!

I feel the same way.
