God Moves In Mysterious Ways

God moves in mysterious ways
His wonders to perform
But why’d he make it cold up north
When down here’s far too warm
What’s the point of earthquakes
Of famine floods and fires
And if they’re all so sinful
Why’d he give us our desires
Why’d he make diseases
That blight us in our life
That cause us all to suffer
And why did he make my wife

Thank god I’m an atheist

I was really intense up until the last couple of lines. I had to read the last two lines over a few times as they threw me off! Well written. Gareth

Sounds like you have a lot of questions for Him even though you are an atheist!
