There is a God
|
|
A person speaks over the PA system, simulating that of NASA's mission control announcing the countdown of a ship into orbit:
|
|
T minus 40 seconds and counting. The development flight instrumentation recorders are on. T minus 35 seconds. We're just a few seconds away from switching to the redundant set sequencer. T minus 27 seconds. We've gone for redundant set sequencer start. T minus 20 seconds and counting... T minus 15,14, 13,... T minus 10,9,8, 7, 6, 5, 4, run for main engine start...(the sound of a rocket is heard as it takes off and heads into outer space.)

Speaker: 93 million miles from the blistering surface of the sun hangs the planet earth, a rotating sphere perfectly suspended in the center of the universe, the ultimate creation from an infinite mind, an unbelievably intricate, complex design. A supernatural testimony, and irrefutable sign that there is... a God. (As the word "God " is spoken the song begins, with the first four measures repeating as needed until the end of the first verse.)
|
|
Verse one (spoken): The size, position and the angle of the earth
|
|
is a scientific phenomenon to see.
|
|
A few degrees closer to the sun and we'd disintegrate,
|
|
a few degrees further we'd freeze.
|
|
The axis of the earth is tilted at a perfect 23 degree angle
|
|
and it's no mistake that it is.
|
|
This allows equal global distribution to the rays of the sun
|
|
making it possible for the food chain to exist.
|
|
Or take for example the combination of nitrogen and oxygen
|
|
in the atmosphere we breath every day.
|
|
It just happens to be the exact mix that life needs to prosper.
|
|
It doesn't happen on any other planet that way.
|
|
You see, the Bible says the invisible things of God are clearly seen
|
|
through His creation, to believe this is not hard.
|
|
If there's a design, then there's a designer. If there's a plan, there's a planner,
|
|
and if there's a miracle, there is a God.
|
|
There is a hope, there is a light, there is an answer to all answers. There is a flame that burns in the night. And I know, I know, I know there is a God.
|
|
Verse two (spoken): The Scripture says the heavens declare the glory of God
|
|
and the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
|
|
If we allow our minds to drink in all the truth that just surrounds us,
|
|
creation itself will help us understand.
|
|
Did you know the moon controls the tides, it's the maid that cleans the oceans,
|
|
even the waves don't crash the shores in vain.
|
|
The tides drag impurities into the depths of the ocean,
|
|
it's nature's constant recycling chain.
|
|
It simply boggles the mind to think that the stars will rotate
|
|
with such exact precision that it's true,
|
|
that the atomic clock, with an error factor of less than
|
|
three seconds per millennium is set by the way they move.
|
|
Though they silently orbit, the sun, the moon, the stars
|
|
are like celestial evangelists above
|
|
who circle the earth every 24 hours
|
|
shouting in every language that there is a God.
|
|
Atheism is the wedge under the foundation of our faith
|
|
trying to topple our relationship with Christ.
|
|
When the fool says in his heart, there is no God,
|
|
he rejects the truth God painted on the canvas of the night.
|
|
Atheism has never created an artistic masterpiece,
|
|
never healed a fatal disease of calmed a fear.
|
|
Atheism has never still given answers to our existence,
|
|
peace to a troubled mind of even dried a tear.
|
|
For it's God who created heaven and earth and flung the stars in space
|
|
and breathed in a handful of dirt and it became man.
|
|
It's God who sits on the circle of the earth and measures the mountain in a scale,
|
|
and holds the seven seas in the palm of His hand.
|
|
It's God who sent His only begotten Son to the cross of Calvary
|
|
to save our souls from hell and the grave.
|
|
It's God who creates, God who delivers, God who heals
|
|
and God who is worthy fo a thunderous ovation of praise!
|
|
There is a hope, there is a light, there is an answer to all answers.
|
|
There is a flame that burns in the night. And I know, I know, I know there is a Go |
