Seems too good to be true
A faith that saves fully
A God who loves me
A creator who knows me
A Lord who is perfectly just
And justly perfect
For eternity
Forever
Seems too good to be true
When good people die young
In a world where so much is broken
Where hatred permeates society
Truth seems elusive
Peace feels unreliable
Where confusion causes frustration between loved ones
When we forget who and whose we are
How often we experience inequity, suffering and injustice
But it's not too good to be becoming true
We know certain truths become more true with time
Light conquers darkness
Truth defeats lies
The moral arc of the universe is long
Yet bends toward justice
At some unknown future time and date
It won't be too good to be true
Because that's where we are headed
And for now the work is clear
For each and all of us to be a part of this becoming
For it may seem too good to be true today
But in eternity all will be redeemed
So we orient toward everlasting life and truth
With feet stuck in temporal mud of seemingly slow progress
Praying for the eternal truth within our souls to be revealed in the work of our heart, mind, posture, and effort.
For our very being to be becoming the being that isn't too good to be true
It's too true to comprehend
It's too good to understand
It seems temporarily out of reach today
Yet it is so eternally good that it is forever true
It may seem too good to be true
But it's becoming true
Right here
Right now
Before our very eyes
Even when we are impatient
Even when we are distracted
Even when we are in the way
It's becoming true every day
