God Is the Answer

If you've never asked the question

Who? When? Why? or How?

Give your mind that suggestion

Go ahead and do it now.

You will find when you consider

All the options that abound

There is still but one conclusion

Where peace of mind is found.

It's not in education

It's not in religion or in books

It's not in retirement funds or IRAs

Or how the market looks

It's not in status or in style

Or how high in bowling you score

It's not in the running of a mile

Or in who you're working for

It's not in the price you pay for things

It's not in checks or credit cards

It's not in jewels or  fancy rings

Secured by guns and those guards

It's not in the beauty of your face

It's not the muscle on your bones

It's not a matter of your race

Or your classy looks or great skin tones

What matters most in life today,

Not what you have, but what you are

And where you stand along the way

It's how faith in God succeeds by far

God is the answer to the question

Of the who, when, why or how

And he gives us the invitation

"Trust in me, do it now."

You'll find God meets your deepest need

He'll guide your steps and make things right

With His kind words your soul He'll feed

And He'll turn darkness into light.
