The hustle and bustle of life distracts me, yet
I’m determined to stop and think for a moment
So, lets You and I get a little bit closer
I need to understand You before I grow older.
In the name of Faith, I must reconcile
I am trapped in a junction of space and time
What captures my senses, you created all that
That you’re my Creator, I accept this fact.
Is the way the World is, truly your will?
Was I made in your image, or from dirt on the ground?
Does the freedom I have cause evil and pain?
Why the need to defend me every time I sin?
Hunger and sickness are taking over the World
War and poverty threaten every human on Earth
Unwanted children with not even a home
Their prayers unanswered, there is no hope.
The powerful takes and takes from the weak
As few get richer, most have nothing to eat
The belief that we pay for the pain that we cause
“What goes around comes around” doesn’t always mean much.
Get off your Throne and level with me
The World around me isn’t what it should be
Why don’t you tell me once and for all
The World You created is beyond your control.
Admit for once that you desperately need me
My human mind allows your existence
For us to exist we need one another
And if we’re to survive let’s understand each other.
In the name of our bond between God and his creation
I will use the gift that from you I inherited
The power to transcend my human existence
Our nature may be different, yet very consistent.
I am sorry that hate is stronger than love
And that sickness is taking so many of us
I regret that justice cannot overcome
The special interest that rules the World.
I am sorry that we could not conquer death
The bar that you raised is too high to reach
If my instincts were closer to what you require
It would have been easier to meet your desire.
So I must forgive you for creating my soul
And for placing me in this imperfect World
A World neither of us can ever control
But with all my heart I forgive you, my Lord.
