Being As An Ocean - Its Really Not As Complicated As Youre Making It Out To Be Lyrics

"I do dimly perceive that while everything around me
is ever-changing, ever-dying there is, underlying
all that change, a living power that is changeless
that holds all together, that creates, dissolves
and recreates. That informing power or spirit is God
and since nothing else that I see
merely through the senses
can or will persist, he alone is
And is this power benevolent or malevolent?
I see it as purely benevolent. For I can see
that in the midst of death, life persists
in the midst of untruth, truth persists
in the midst of darkness, light persists
Hence I gather, that God is life, truth, light, he is love
He is the supreme good
But he is no God who merely satisfies the intellect
if he ever does. God to be God must rule the heart
and transform it. He must express himself
in every smallest act of his votary
It is proved not by extraneous evidence
but in the transformed conduct and character
of those who have felt the real presence of God within
To reject this evidence is to deny oneself
This realization is preceded by an immovable faith
He who would, in his own person
test the fact of God's presence
can do so by a living faith
and since faith itself cannot be proved
by extraneous evidence
the safest course is to believe in
The law of truth and love
Exercise of faith will be the safest
where there is a clear determination summarily
to reject all that is contrary to truth and love
I confess that I have no argument to convince
through reason, faith transcends reason
All that I can advise is not to attempt the impossible. "
