God's Not Listening

I know, that I am a sinner People like me, not ‘cos I’m a sinner But I think, for they also love the sin And, most of my life I’ve adored sin Without exactly knowing why I grew up that way, full of lie ‘Cos of iniquities I realized one thing Certainly, God’s not listening To my everyday call for I was disobedient to his favor Hated the world and the enemies I should’ve peace and give them a kiss To list all the sin I say, this space is really thin What can I do? That’s really me, living without a clue But, isn’t God a loving creator? To his children, a protector Why, to me, those things happened? I’ve carried the entire burden Of being alone, for days and nights I beg for a light I cried in his holy name But all is the same Punish me, O Lord For transgressing your accord Surely, hard punishment I can’t take Nor, light punishment I will take If, silence is your kind of punishment So be it, and from me no more comment Still I prefer, you speak to me Teach me anew….and set me free To you, I promise no more lies I believe you’ll listen….. hope never dies
