I Wonder What God Would Say

I wonder what God would say About those who come before him, Only to use his name To gather financial gain.. I wonder what God would say When the first thing you do When you leave your place of worship Is engage in idle gossip... I wonder what God would say To those who don't know the lives of their brothers, Yet find it fit to criticize And fight down one another... I wonder what God would say About those who claim To proclaim in his name Only for fortune and fame... I wonder what God would say About the tongue of man Used to slander And engage in malicious behavior... I wonder what God would say To those who reveal secrets Made known to them in confidence, Causing them to lose the trust that was once placed in them... I wonder what God would say To those who endorsed slavery Giving permission to trade human beings Buying and selling them like property.. I wonder what God would say About those who say they're blessed And have experienced his greatness Yet find it hard to follow a path of kindness... I wonder what God would say About our man made decisions To create separation Through racism, sexism and religion I wonder what God would say About so many things.. If he existed only in our minds And not in the outreach of our lives As we've been taught to believe as a child... I wonder what God would say... Would he regret his decision To place man on this earth, His decision to give woman The ability to procreate; to give birth, His decision to give us the ability to think And choose freely;- As to whether we believe in the theory of Evolution Or the theory of Creation? All in all it's still our decision To make But I've always wondered what God would say...
