WHAT LIVING IS ALL ABOUT Lyrics by Forrest Frank
Doctor Neil Frank
Neil, would you come up here and stand beside me a moment?
Several years ago, I came out of church one Sunday morning
Met an airline pilot
He asked me a very simple question
He said, “What are you really doing here?”
I thought for a minute and said well we got small children
And we think it’s important that they be in Sunday School
He said if there’s something here for them
Don’t you think there might be something here for you
How dare this guy challenge me on what I was doing there of a morning
But I went home and after the anger subsided
I became more rational and if I was honest with you tonight
I’m telling you I set out to prove that there was no God
So that I could go to the golf course on Sunday morning
And not have my conscience bother me
But one day in frustration
Driving down I95, going to work
I just looked up and said God I confess that I’m a sinner
If that’s what selfishness is then I’m a sinner
And you know what happened, nothing
I didn’t see any angels, I didn’t hear the heavenly choir
I didn’t have any sense of peace I just putted on down the road, went to work
Got home that night, I’d almost forgot about the incident
And I picked up my bible and say I’m still tryna prove there’s no God
And somebody messed with my book
Somebody messed with my book
I understood things that I didn’t understand the night before
That’s right, that’s right
It says in the fourth chapter, Second Corinthians
But there is a veil over the eyes of the unbeliever
That they can not deserve the truth
But it says in the third chapter
That when you turn in repentance that veil is lifted
And that veil was lifted
And I became a new creature in Christ Jesus
And my, you bet there was a change in my life
A change in my value system
A change in my understanding
And certainly a change in my concept of this person in Christ
Have you had your veil lifted tonight?
Let me tell you the great tragedy in modern America
The great tragedy is that many of us have never taken the time to find out what living is all about
To find out what living’s all about
And the answer may be what I consider to be the most important question in life
Is there a god?
And if there is what must I do to be related to him?
