Yes, Virginia, There's a God

Affirming the Almighty's Existence at Christmas…

Yes, Virginia, there's a God.
Ask Utah. She believes.
But Washington and Oregon?
They aren't so sure it seems.

In the Bible Belt belief's a cinch.
In New England self is king.
Where pilgrims landed faith is rare.
Reason's the main thing.

But reason bows to mystery.
It must. We aren't that smart.
Dear Lord, Your ways defy our grasp.
We sing "How Great Thou Art."

We also sing "Joy to the World"
because You sent Your Son.
That silent night so long ago
Your greatest work was done.
