What if?

What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
What if you jump?
And just close your eyes?
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?
What if He's more than enough?
What if it's love?

What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig?
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find?

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold?

You've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land for so long
But what if you're wrong?

-My friend I spoke about yesterday responded to me. And this is what I would love to say in return without making her defensive. I realize that is not a possibility but wouldn't it be great if we could just get the message across by saying what is really on our minds? By looking at them and saying, "Are you crazy, why would you want to risk it? Can't you see His love for you and everything it brings?" It amazes me that people try to disregard God and his teachings. I can't go through one day and be amazed and what God has done. Look at childbirth! Do they really think that evolution made that possible? Do they really think that the most intricate, complicated, self-sufficient "machine" (aka our bodies) made it this far by evolution? WE DID NOT COME FROM MONKEYS!!!! Science has proven that! Genetics has proven that! I could go on and on but that is not why I posted this today. I posted this really to ask for prayers. Prayers for my friend and prayers for me that I may find the right words to make her at least re-consider her stance.
My thought is this:
If the faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains, I pray my faith can move one soul.
