MY LOOK AT GOD!

Hello, Everyone!

Just to take a moment to share my Look at God
and my Love of God – or For God.
Each of us has their own personal vision or perception of God;
and I think that is great. I strongly approve of Loving God
in one’s own way; and I encourage all to do so.
I do believe that nothing is more important in life –
Loving God in one’s own way. It should be that way!
Don’t you agree?

But I am going to share my own vision of God
in a song I wrote in 2008, nearly sixteen years ago.
Like I often do, I will say it in a song – or try to say in a song.
I will leave it at that. OK?

Be in touch as you like –
and I hope you like my song.

All My Love,

Gently,

Francis William Bessler (Frank/Will)

P.S. I dedicate this song to my Dear Departed Wife, Nancy,
for whom we will be celebrating a Memorial
here in Laramie, Wyoming at the
local Trinity Lutheran Church at 11 A.M. on July 11th.
Nancy was an angel when she lived – and she is still an angel.
If one is an angel when they live,
they only continue so where they go upon passing away.
Good to Know! Huh?


If I Could Talk With God

REFRAIN:
If God would speak to me – I think that it would be
that I would hear exactly – what I want to believe.
If I believe that God is just – and will punish those I oppose,
then that’s what I will hear – and what I will suppose.
If I believe that God is good – and belongs to everyone,
then that’s what I will hear – that everyone’s God’s son.
If God would speak to me – I think that it would be
that I would hear exactly – what I want to believe.

If I could talk with God, I think that He would say:
My son, I’m within you.
Be aware of that when you pray.
He’d say: My Presence must be mystery
because the Infinite is not for you to understand;
but that Presence is your Divinity;
and that’s to say, I’m holding your hand.

If I could talk with God, I think that He would say:
Because everything is equal in My sight,
nothing can be favored in any way.
He’d say: Look at anything, My child
and be impressed with all the majesty
that you see all the while
and know that it’s all of My Divinity.

If I could talk with God, I think that He would say:
My son, I am with you
every night and day;
but I am not only with you –
I’m with everyone.
Since I am Infinite, I’m in All –
and everyone (everything) is My son.

If I could talk with God, I think that He would say:
If you doubt that I am Infinite,
just look out into space.
If you can find where it all ends,
then it is for you not to believe;
but if you can’t find an end, My friend,
be careful not to be deceived.

If I could talk with God, I think that He would say:
Don’t be fooled when others claim
that Heaven is in another place.
He’d say: Heaven is only knowing
that where you are, I am;
and if you can find where I am not,
then Heaven there is not at hand.

If I could talk with God, I think that He would say:
Because I am in you, My child,
you should not be ashamed.
I think He’d say that everything
in that which we call Creation
is blessed of Him because He’s there;
and that should cause in us, elation.

If I could talk with God, I think that He would say:
Be not confused, My child.
Just be glad when you pray.
Say thanks for the life you have
because it’s generous beyond expression.
I hear Him saying, if you do that,
then you will always be in Heaven.
Repeat Refrain.
