Elie Hobeika, ASSASSINATED By Siamese twins CIA+MOSSAD-DIA+OSP=GHAZI+ Shawkat+LB Intel...: “Son of God” is a statement of faith….in "Jesus, the Son of God "

I believe there is a place

I believe there is a place...
where people live in perfect peace
where there is food on every plate
where work is rewarded and rest is sweet
where the color of your skin
won’t get you in or keep you out
where justice reigns and truth finally wins...
it’s hard fought wars against lies, treachery, injustice and clout

and everyone I know wants to go there too
but when I ask them how to do it they seem so confused
do I turn to the left
do I turn to the right
when I turn to the world they just gave me this advice

They said boy just follow your heart
but my heart just lead me into my chest
they said follow your nose
but the direction changed every time I went and turned my head
they said boy you just follow your dreams
but my dreams were only misty notions
but the Father of hearts and the Maker of noses
and the giver of dreams He’s the one I have chosen
and I will follow Him...

I believe there'll come a time
Lord I pray it’s not too far off
there'll be no poverty or crime
there'll be no greed and we’ll learn how to love
and children will be safe in their homes
and there'll be no violence out on the streets
the old will not be left alone
the strong will learn how to care for the weak?

and everyone I know hopes it comes real soon
but when I ask ‘em where I find it they seem so confused
do I find it in the day
do I find it in the night
when I finally ask the world they give me this advice

and oh, I hear the voice of a million dreams
then I wake in the world that I’m partly made of
and the world that is partly my homemaking
and oh, I hear the song of a heart set free
that will not be kept down
by the fury and sound
of a world that is wasting away that keeps saying

For me the song “Son of God” is a statement of faith…I sometimes struggle to see past the sometimes seemingly fairytale-like story of Jesus on the cross and His redemption of mankind. So it goes a long way for me to speak out the truths that I believe deep down in my soul, but often struggle to grasp.

I begin to pick things apart in my head and over-analyze the Legitimacy of the gospel and whether Jesus really was who He said He was. In this place of doubt and unbelief I often find myself simply praying for a childlike faith and a soul that is willing to take God at His word, believing in the grace that he has extended to me through Jesus.

I know that it is impossible for me to have all the answers while I’m on this earth. But the more I surrender my need for answers and my need for control, the more Jesus becomes real to me. To me, this song is a proclamation that says, “Jesus, I believe that you are God, and I stand here with a sometimes weary faith, but faith enough to believe that you have forgiven me and that you loved me enough to die in my place...”

This conscious decision to speak the truth over my life solidifies my faith and trust in God. This state of surrender is when I’m the most free to worship, and I can honestly sing “Jesus, the Son of God, the shaper of the stars, You are worthy of all my praise” - Elie HOBEIKA -
