They Ask---Music Monday (Elvis Presley)

They Ask

"How can you believe in God?
How do you know he is there?"

"What!?... Can't you smell the bliss of honeysuckle
drifting in the air?"


"How can you believe in God?
How do you know he's true?"

"Haven't you seen the colors?
The flames of red,


the stars of blue?"

"How can you believe in Him?
Someone you've never seen?"

"Just look at all the patterns
thousands in red


and green."


"Creativity, symmetry, design!
Oh the fuzzy magic of a single soybean!"*


"Can't you see the ocean of ivy
splashing against the trees?"

"Can't you hear the joy and delight
in the voices of kids
throwing Frisbees? "

"Can't you see the pine trees
growing, straight and tall,
with the soft carpet of needles
underneath them all?"

"Can't you see the people walking
with the ones they love?"

"Can't you hear your feet crunching acorns
that have fallen from above?"

"Can't you see the zinnias bursting
in fireworks of gold?"


"Can't you see the delicate angel's lace
left behind for green stems to hold?"

"With all the gifts we've been given.
With all the things we've got.
The question isn't, 'How can you believe in God?'
The question is, 'How can you NOT?'"
