Cause and Effect

The old man shook his head and said
"Now, just a minute son
Are you sayin' that this risin' from the dead
Was really done?
Now, I'm all for love and peace
But you just push this thing too far
I've been around enough to know
It's not the way things are"

"It defies the laws of nature
It confounds the mind of man
It throws everything I know up in the air
If your Jesus really conquered death
Well, I'm not sure where I'd stand
'Cause it would mean
That there's a God who really cares
And for all these years
I've lived like He's not there"

I said, "Our Father's love for us
Is so great that He shed
The priceless blood of His Eternal Son
The power of our Creator
Raised Christ Jesus from the dead
The evidence is there to inspect
It's just supernatural cause and effect"

The old man shot a glance
Like somethin' long asleep was stirred
He stared into the sunset
Long before he said a word
"Could it be that I have made my heart
So hard my eyes can't see?
The simple truth before me
Is that God just may love me"

It defies the laws of nature
It confounds the mind of man
It throws all I thought I knew up in the air
But if Jesus really conquered death
I know where I want to stand
'Cause it means
That there's a God who really cares
And I'd give Him all I am if He is there"

I said, "Our Father's love for us
Is so great that He shed
The priceless blood of His Eternal Son
The power of our Creator
Raised Christ Jesus from the dead
The evidence is there to inspect
It's just supernatural cause and effect
It's just supernatural cause and effect"
