People don’t believe
Apparently
Numbers now are falling
So they say
We are humanist or atheist
Many say ‘don’t know’
Agnostic that’s the word
And that’s the way
But lots of things we do know
That’s a fact
Science is a wonder
Where it’s at
And philosophy is good for us
Helps us understand
And sense and intuition
Are at hand
But faith and hope and love
And stuff
They are ocean deep
As deep as are the heavens
Stretched above
And prayer can reach infinity
At least that’s what we’re told
It’s worth a try
Time that we were bold
And the high road into mystery
The high road into us
Was born for us on Christmas day
And that explains the fuss
Let Jesus be your study
Your mentor and your friend
Go seek him out go find him
Your beginning and your end
