YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IT

If you believe, you know it.
If you believe, you'll show it
As a witness strong and true.
And if it isn't true,
You'll never know it.

If you have faith, you'll show it.
Sure that God will bestow it,
You'll dream of paradise.
And if it doesn't materialize,
You'll never know it.

Paradise, you can't earn it.
From here, you can't discern it.
It's a mighty good deal.
And if it's not for real,
You'll never learn it.

You won't wake up on the other side
And learn you've been denied
That which you had expected.
So you will not be dejected
Or even a bit dissatisfied.

You won't be suddenly wise,
Experiencing a sad surprise.
Oblivious to the situation,
You'll feel no consternation.
And no one you will apprise.
