How Dare You Ask

Now, mankind is an arrogant lot
they really think they're above everyone
no other planet is near them, they think
all of the rest must bow before them, bar none

They don't recognise divinity at all
God doesn't exist, they would say
Creation is a joke, or so they think
what arrogance they have not to pray

One day God will show who's boss
on that day, He'll bring them to account
every word and thought they must answer
the great judge will call without a doubt

Remember, God is the holy sovereign Lord
in Christ alone, created everything
the creation can't question its creator
for only He who creates is King

So how dare you ask?
mere man, who are you at best?
before Almighty God nothing
for the Lord God rules supremist

(Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?)
Romans 9: 20 (KJV)
