If I Said
by Barbara Philbrook

If I said someone was offering a fortune to you.
Would you accept it? Is that what you would do?

If I said there's a new home with your name on it's deed.
Would you with the moving in proceed?

If I said you can be healthy, just go here.
Would you make arrangements or hesitate in fear?

If I said all of your fears will be removed from you.
Would you think it could possibly be true?

If I said you can tell a mountain move and it would.
How soon before you'd see if you could?

If I said there is a comforter willing to console you.
Would you shut me out, believing it untrue?

If I said someone else repaid your debt.
Wwould you be forever grateful or continue to fret?

If I said there is someone who knows you better than you do.
Would you think I was jostling you?

If I said you needn't fear having to die.
Would you think I was on a chemically induced high?

If I said I can prove everyone of these is true.
Would you believe and ask me to do it for you?

Every one of these can be found if you will look.
They are written of in God's own book.

He promises all who seek will find the way.
So open the Bible and call out to Him as you pray!
