God Was Crying Too

One night not too long ago before I went to bed I got down on my knees to pray and then I bowed my head I said "Lord I just don't understand some things that have been done I thought when You died for us the victory had been won It seems each time I turn around there's tragedy again Some people say You are mad because of all our sins On that bright September day when the world came to a hault Everybody started praying instead of finding fault Was this event planned by You to bring us to our knees Was this You way of saying 'Wake up and trust in Me'" I listened very quietly and then I heard Him say "I understand the way you feel but on that dreadful day When all the world was crying I was crying too I can't make somebody do something they don't want to do Each person I breathe life into I give them all free will Sadly there are those who think their purpose is to kill Whenever you start feeling you're about to loose control Remember I your Father am the guardian of your soul I have a place prepared for you; before too long you'll see I can't wait until the day you come and live with Me!"
