Because 'We Believe' Poem by Joyce Hemsley

The name of 'God' is ever sacred
One name, beyond compare.
The Idol and the Mentor
Deep in our minds, the name is there.

God is comfort to the lonely
When no human seems to care;
without His name all hope would fail
the world would sink beyond repair.

The word of God gives us strength
to cope each long day through
how could we doubt life's wonder
of the Rock of Ages ever true.

We read the myths and stories
we can call Him by another name.
'Nature' said a boy of nine...
There is a connection, all is divine.

Thank the Heavens for God this day
the solemn church organ still will play;
'because we believe' we will sing the hymns
until Creation fades away.
