What if?

What if By Nichole Nordeman
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 palace in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?

(Chours)
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, 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 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
Then folklore that must be told and retold

(Chours)

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

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?

I love this song because it presents such a great point that I have been thinking about. So what if they are right? What if I am completely off my rocker and Jesus was simply a disillusioned nice guy who was good at magic? What if it was simply a story that had been blown way out of proportion? What if everything I believe in and have invested my life in was a lie?
You know what, if that was true I would die a happy person, because at least when I was hear I had something to believe in, something that keeps my head above water in a world that constantly trying to push it under. I will die and go nowhere, but what will I care, I will be dead and I would have died happy. And those who didn’t believe would feel a few seconds of pride over being right, before they went back to a life that is missing something.
But what if they are wrong? What Jesus is real? What if there is a Heaven and a Hell? Well in that case, they will have lived there whole lives feeling like they were missing a part of them. They will have gone there whole lives with out feeling the overwhelming gift of God that we get to experience everyday. And worst of all, they will have to spend the rest of eternity rejecting it. They will have to spend the rest of Eternity regretting that one big mistake.
So my big question is this, What if its tomorrow? What if Jesus comes for you tomorrow? Are you ready to hop off the boat and test the water?
