Seems too good to be true
A faith that saves fully A God who loves me A creator who knows me A Lord who is perfectly just And justly perfect For eternity Forever
Seems too good to be true When good people die young In a world where so much is broken Where hatred permeates society Truth seems elusive Peace feels unreliable Where confusion causes frustration between loved ones When we forget who and whose we are How often we experience inequity, suffering and injustice
But it's not too good to be becoming true We know certain truths become more true with time Light conquers darkness Truth defeats lies The moral arc of the universe is long Yet bends toward justice
At some unknown future time and date It won't be too good to be true Because that's where we are headed And for now the work is clear For each and all of us to be a part of this becoming For it may seem too good to be true today But in eternity all will be redeemed
So we orient toward everlasting life and truth With feet stuck in temporal mud of seemingly slow progress Praying for the eternal truth within our souls to be revealed in the work of our heart, mind, posture, and effort. For our very being to be becoming the being that isn't too good to be true It's too true to comprehend It's too good to understand It seems temporarily out of reach today Yet it is so eternally good that it is forever true
It may seem too good to be true But it's becoming true Right here Right now Before our very eyes Even when we are impatient Even when we are distracted Even when we are in the way It's becoming true every day
