True Magic

We all know magic’s fake, but magic’s fun,
we like to dabble in the mystery,
but science says there is no magic--none,
and we find none in all of history.

Yet TV teen shows make it seem so real,
New Age is just religion’s substitute,
our moral magic’s based on how we feel,
we wonder why we bear such rotten fruit.

God comes along with magic that is true,
does miracles, reveals His mysteries,
then frightens us with real commandments too,
His magic love is not just aimed to please.

God’s true love really rules, be not afraid,
His Magic Kingdom--heaven--will never fade.
