Why Evil
by Carl WalkerWhy Evil
Why evil said little Melissa
Doesnt evil prove there is no God
It is so bad
So black
So sad
How do you know there is evil?
Said uncle Billy
How do you know that evil is evil?
For there to be an up
There must be a down
For there to be hot
There must be not hot
Evil doesnt prove there is not God
Evil proves there is something
That is not-evil
And what is it
We know evil is bad
Because we know good is good
How do we know good is good,
Asked little Melissa
How do you know you like ice cream?
Asked Uncle Billy,
With a scoop in his hand
All over the world
All peoples
At all times
Know there is good
We dont always agree on what is good
But we know it is there
How, oh how, can we know what is truly good?
absolute good
real good
a man or a woman can only judge by what they see
if we are to see what is truly good
we must have help from someone
who has a higher place to stand
than we do, sweetie,
said uncle Billy
God stands over the sunset
Seeing all the hearts of man
He wants to draw our eyes to what is good
To the greatest beauty
To see Him in splendor
To do that
Doesnt he use
Evil to draw forth tears
And produce a longing in the heart of man
To see good
To find beauty
To know God
Even evil has a purpose in the hand of God
To produce His end
He is beauty
Doesnt it testify to Gods realness
when men have sublime peace
In the midst of darkest evil
Isnt it true
That the beauty of faith
Can only be revealed
When it rises from the fires
Of
testing by evil
my soul is now resting joyously
in the hand of God
where no evil can damage me
and His hand will
bring me home
through all the fires
evil can tender
