What if?

The age old question...what if?  It's even turned into somewhat of a game these days, trying to guess the different outcomes of life's twists and turns if only we'd made a different decision.  TV shows (Grey's Anatomy off the top of my mind) and movies (Butterfly Effect) encase this unanswerable question for our entertainment--and to make our brains wonder about our own decisions and the effect they've had on our lives as well as those around us.

So here's the biggest what if of all...  For those of you who are unbelievers in our God Almighty, what if you're wrong?  If I'm wrong (although my faith ensures me that I'm not), it's ok.  My life will have been full, happy, and earthly.  But what if you're wrong?  What if your life could be so much more?  And what if your life doesn't have to be constrained to this earth?


What If?

What if you're right, and He was just another nice guy
What if you're right, what if it's true
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true
What if He takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then

But what if you're wrong
What if there's more
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump, just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if he's more than enough
What if it's love

What if you dig way down deeper
Than your simple minded friends
What if you dig
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you'd find
What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more than folklore
That must be told and retold

But what if you're wrong
What if there's more
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump, just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if he's more than enough
What if it's love

You've been running as fast as you can
And you've been looking for a place you can land
For so long

But what if you're wrong
What if you jump, just close you're eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if he's more than enough
What if it's love

“I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.”
― Albert Camus
