Hey Greg,

This is a gorgeous sounding song.

I would like to address something that I find to be fascinating about the so-called "agnostic" lyrics because I don't find them to be agnostic at all.

Here's what I mean:

I sometimes jokingly refer to myself as the black sheep of God's family, and also like to say that the apostle Paul was wrong when he said that he was the worse sinner of all, because I think that award clearly goes to me.

In spite of that, and in spite of all the pain and suffering in this world, I'm still a believer. Even more than that I would say I don't just believe in God I "know" in God. The existence of God is just something that I "know" to be true in every aspect of my being, and the fabric of my soul, and even at the cellular level and the subatomic level. Kind of like I find it absolutely impossible to believe on a scientific level that any of this happened by accident. That would just make no sense whatsoever if you've ever done a deep study of science and mathematics. The probability of all of this happening by accident is just zero or less than zero.

But the questions that you raise are questions that go through my head and through the head of many of my friends of Faith through all different belief systems.

These are questions that we ask all the time.

They're actually asked all the time throughout the Old Testament. David constantly cried out with questions of pain and searching and confusion and agony in the book of the Psalms and so did the other psalmists.

The verse "my God my God why have you forsaken me?" which Jesus cried out on the cross comes straight out of the Old Testament too. The book of Job asked the same questions that you ask and more, and most Jewish people consider the book of Job to be the most quintessential Jewish book of all time. And again, these very same questions reverberate throughout the New testament as well. I think these are questions all human beings have, even (or especially) those people who call themselves believers of One Faith or another.

So whereas this is a very beautiful and powerful song, it doesn't sound at all like an agnostic song to me at all, it sounds like a God song full of questions that almost everyone I know talks about when they are seeking to have a greater understanding of the very personal God that they are seeking to fathom.

Just a thought I would throw that out there.

Great job man!! Gorgeous!!!
