I Can't Deny

That God is there and good, I can’t deny,
that would be pride and just stupidity,
who else could make the stars and sea and sky?
For me, I’d rather choose humility.

Like Socrates, there’s so much I don’t know--
admitting that the Oracle said was smart,
yet for the love God has and wants to show,
I feel I can respond best with my heart.

Humility and intelligence are good,
but I am something more than R2D2,
God made me free to choose the things I should,
in faith, I choose You, Lord, because I’m free to.

Your works and words lead me to look above,
but more, I choose to love Your look of love.
