Truth and Beauty

Music, tone of violin
Piano, jazz, can set a mood
Wagner, Bach, and theremin
Are considered very good.

But so is caring for the poor
And trying to be empathetic
Could it be that what is moral
Also is what is aesthetic?

Without conviction our actions are hollow
Art without moral is hard to swallow
For that which makes a thing beautiful
Is also that which makes us whole.

Good is not better
And bad is not worse
By God we must measure
Soul, string, and verse

Good, better; worse worst
Bad, worse; better best
One thing last, one thing first
Some are better than all the rest

In order to compare two things
You need to know that better is
You need to know about your sins
Nothing can be relative.

Faith and virtue, viola and flute
Truth and beauty are both absolute
Both we call good, both we applaud
Because both were created by the very same God.

Thought without magic

Have you ever thought without magic?

Words with definitions precise

Seemingly each devoid of all wonder

Logic instead of what's nice.

What's real is what my heart is ever after

My mind to mimic actuality

Maybe this leads to truth without comfort

But bliss less ignorant is reality.

What if this leads me to question my God?

To see what he does that strikes me as odd

And wonder if things that I think that I know

Are error, when removed, will cause me to grow?

Clearly and coldly I'll think as I wonder

For all that's at stake if my heart were to blunder

If perception doesn't match reality

The God I know isn't the God that made me.

To stop here would be a grievous mistake

For love-lacking logic is far worse than fake

The things that I know must cause me to act

Worship and care should follow fact

Is it true that logic leads to love?

Through humble deliberation brings wonder above

To know that my God makes sense and is real

Causes me to majestically feel.

Do you understand that Jesus was logic?

Precisely, was "Logos" as John set forth hence

God's love and his justice were locked in paradox

So Jesus, sent to die, was sent to make sense.

It just so happens what fulfills the law

Also fills my soul with awe

For God so loved logic that He sent us His son

To die our death deserved to make us like one
