Natural Or Spiritual


When we look at life in the natural
We see so many things
We see disappointments and the pain
That sometimes life may bring
We see the things that hurt us
The things that make us cry
We see all the ugly things
More than what brings us joy

When we look at things in the natural
Sometimes we'd like to scream
For everyday we live
Things get worse it seems
The world just gets more bleaker
As every day goes by
Looking at things in the natural
Would only make us sigh

If we look at things in the spiritual
They're different in that sphere
For we would see our God
Working for us there
The spirit of the Living God
Is working all things out
Looking at things in the spiritual
Makes us want to shout

We'd see that ministering Angels
Are sent our way each day
Sent to protect and help us
When our lives are in dismay
The battle may be raging
We don't have to turn and run
For living in the spiritual realm
Brings us victory through God's Son.
