Do You Really Care For God

When I woke up this morning I tried to clear my head I had a dream so vivid I sat straight up in bed I dreamed the Lord knocked at my door and as I welcomed him inside His eyes were red and swollen from all the tears he'd cried I said Lord what's the matter why are you so sad You look as though someone has hurt you really bad He gathered his composure and slowly shook his head I could feel the pain he bore when unto me he said My father has a lot of names but his character takes on Different personalities to make his presence known He is Jehovah Jirah your needs he will supply But he can be a begger and so many pass him by He is Jehovah Shalom who gives you peace within Yet he can be a widow and he sees once again People just don't take the time to do the things he asks Some folks are more contented to hide behind a mask But when they stand before him on that judgement day I'm afraid so many people are going to hear him say I gave you many chances just hoping you would see The way you treat the down and out is how you're treating me All those who were needy and lacking on the earth Are now basking in my glory as I prove to them their worth
