One Way Looking Glass

You say you can’t believe in God You say the world is too far gone With all this corruption deep inside You think the truth must be a lie It’s just another day Another heart break Another teenage girl Who gets raped and killed Why die and go to hell When you can just experience hell on earth You say you can’t believe in God You say the world is too far gone With all this corruption deep inside You think the truth must be a lie It’s 4 am And the phone rings as loud as it can It’s your best friend He was just shot and killed You look to the sky And you can’t help but to ask God why Does God even care Does he see what you see With all this hurt and pain How could this be fair You say you can’t believe in God You say the world is too far gone With all this corruption deep inside You think the truth must be a lie But what you do not see Through that one way looking glass Is the tear that falls down God’s face And the warmth of his loving embrace It is our sin that separates us from God Our rebellious ways that brings our pain Before the first sin was a perfect world We brought this upon ourselves But by the grace of God and his love He gave us the key to heaven above Just trust in Jesus Christ till the end And watch your brokenness mend You say you can’t believe in God You say the world is too far gone With all this corruption deep inside You think the truth must be a lie
