Nope. I’ll never be on one of those New York Times bestseller lists.

But I’m fine with that. And here’s why.

Because it’s the New York Times.

And they don’t wanna associate with the likes of people like me who talk about the power of God’s love so much. They’s rather promote the wimpy, limp-wristed, “tolerance and diversity” nonsense that attempts to pass itself off as love these days.

The New York Times doesn’t acknowledge or care about THE powerful love that makes sure the moon revolves around the Earth. The love that designed the sun to be just the right amount of distance from us to provide light and warmth instead of incineration.

I write articles, books, and songs about the complex, yet logical, reasonable universe that’s also beautiful and magical. I write about how it’s unbelievably huge but understandable.

For that kind of complex universe to exist, there MUST be a Designer even more complex.

I’d be a fool to say otherwise.

And I frequently point out how the scientific evidence points to a Designer. Plus, I say it’s a good idea to see if there’s more we can know about that person. And, as it turns out, there’s a LOT more. Yeah, He wrote a bestselling book. No, that’s wrong. He wrote THE bestselling book of all time. The Bible.

And I’ll never have a New York Times bestseller because I trust that bestseller to be the Truth.

Oh well. I suspect I’ll survive without getting on their radar.

I’ve lived more than a half a century without ’em. But, thankfully, I decided to trust God when I was 13.  And through decades I’ve been able to see love throughout the Bible.

That’s helped me understand how and why the fullness of real love can only be known and experienced when you connect with the source of real love. And this song explains why I’m gonna keep on sharing the cause and effect of it with YOU:

Because I Can Love

What made You think
That I was worth the risk You took?
What made You take the time
To write Your Holy Book?
I don’t believe I’d give myself a second look,
But You did because You love.

You made a world
That was as perfect as could be,
But then I broke it
When You gave it all to me…
By going through the gate You made to set me free.
This You did because You love…me.

Because You love me so…in spite of all You know…
Because You did the most that You could ever do…
Because I clearly see…evidence of You in me…
Because I can love…I do love…You!

You put a life
And a will inside my soul.
You knew true love
Would be to give me full control.
But knowing You is all that ever makes me whole.
I trust You because You love…me.

I can live because You live!
I can love because You love!
