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!"
