More Than Faith

I know that He is out there,
`cause I've sensed His works of wonder.
I have seen the flash of lighting,
and have heard the crack of thunder.
I have stood and watched the sunrise,
o'er the mountains in the morning.
I have felt this old earth tremble,
`neath my feet with little warning.
I have scanned the sky at midnight,
with its great array of stars
I have traced the path of comets,
passing Jupiter and Mars.
I have marveled at the oceans,
with their waters deep and cold.
I have wandered through the deserts,
little changed from days of old.
I have felt the chill of winter,
and the heat of summer's sun.
I have watched determined salmon,
as they make their annual `run.
I have strolled beneath the `red woods,
those giants, straight, and tall.
I have pondered on the reasons,
for things both big and small.
There's more I could enumerate,
to prove that He exists.
Though I'm sure no matter how I tried,
there's much that would be missed.
Now, I'm not here to tout religion,
nor to urge you to repent.
But, will some ask when you are gone,
I wonder where he went?
