I was randomly listening and flipping TV stations and stumbled across a concert with Live. I have always liked their music and ended up listening to most of the concert. The lead singer gave a few words before singing their song, “Heaven” about how this song was his prayer for his daughter and his famly.
I’m fairly certain…not positive, but pretty sure…that these guys are not Christians as you and I would define it. However…the lyrics to this song are such a vivid analogy of Romans 1:20 where Paul describes the unrighteous as being without excuse in not knowing God.
I wanted to share this simply because of late, the circles I run in have had many discussions on unbelievers capacity to serve and can unbelievers impact our lives for God’s glory, etc.
I included all the lyrics, as repetitive as they might seem…but in reading them, keep Romans 1:20 in mind.
“Heaven”
You don’t need no friends
get back your faith again
you have the power to believe
another dissident
take back your evidence
it has no power to deceive
I’ll believe it when I see it, for myself
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive
I sit with them all night
everything they say is right
but in the morning they were wrong
I’ll be right by your side
come hell or water high
down any road you choose to roam
I’ll believe it when I see it for myself
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive, yeah
darling, I believe, Oh Lord
sometimes it’s hard to breathe, Lord
at the bottom of the sea, yeah yeah
I’ll believe it when I see it for myself
I don’t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don’t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive
