How Can It Be?

Composed by: Br. Pio Benedict

Look down to your feet. 
What is it that you see? 
Rocks, sand, gravel and dirt: 
The beginning of all that is to be. 
 
Plants, flowers, bushes and grass
All abound from the Earth. 
Growing and blooming, feeding and living, all growing and giving birth. 
 
Mammals, insects, reptiles and birds just a sampling of life that came to be and the crowning jewel, mankind himself, coming forward thanks to Thee.
 
Mankind, created in the image of God, to love and honor and follow His guidance and to glorify His life divine.  To follow His Word and do His will, all with this in mind.
 
A free will we have and the choice is ours to live and to believe, to love and to cherish, to hear and desire or after it all, we shall be alone and perish.
 
How can it be, that one cannot believe, how blind are we that we can’t see?  The love God has given us, His death upon the cross.  To save our souls so we always can be and never, ever be lost.
 
Be in our Lord’s graces, His love forever is ours.  In the glory of God shall we forever see.  Forever, in the seconds, minutes and hours always to believe.
 
How can it be that man doesn’t believe?  How can he be so blind?  Out of nothing we came, from the dawn of time, to become mankind.
 
From nothing it was created, by accident—no way!  The beauty of creation all for us to say, thank you, God, Your glory is forever and thank you, Jesus, You would never say never.
 
Love your neighbor as yourself and have no other God before Me.  For each other we live and for the Glory of God, how can it not be?
