Life isn't always easy
It isn't always kind
Sometimes it's even outright cruel
Sometimes I want to scream and shout
Life - why must you be so cruel?
He's nothing but a little boy
Trying his hardest to be the best that he can be
He's made mistakes - but haven't we all?
Where is the forgiveness?
Where is the love?
You preach from the Bible - loud and clear for all to hear
But, when push comes to shove and the need arises -
no Christ-like actions do I see
A simple mistake - a misspoken word
Apologies made and forgiveness given by those who were hurt
So who are you to pounce like the devil?
Your motives are rotten
Your attitudes worse
Christian - you say (oh, what a farce!)
That's not what you show in the lives that you live.
My Lord and my Savior, Jesus is crying right now
The rain that is falling from heaven is full of His tears
Tears from the damage that you have inflicted...
all supposedly done in His name
We are each held accountable for everything that we do
But God in His wisdom declared that are children are precious and few.
Treat them with kindness, with love overflowing,
Don't do anything to lead them astray or you will cause My wrath to start growing.
That child you hurt with your vindictive behavior is my special son
His heart is so pure, his love so genuine
My cloak of protection surrounds him from you and your pride
You can't hold him down, no matter how hard that you try
My son has been given guardians here on earth to guide and protect him from scoundrels like you
His mom and his dad would lay down their lives to protect him from your evil words and your lies
I have given you the free will to choose
Repent and redemption is yours if you choose
Refuse and My Judgement you will face
That little boy is in My hands
His life will turn out grand
No matter what you meant for him - it isn't in My Plan.
So, hypocrites - one and all -
Take heed of My words
Beware of what you say and do, because...
I am watching you!
