I Do Need You Lord But Why

I DO NEED YOU LORD BUT WHY

I'm not an atheist, I do believe in Christ
How can an all loving God given us such allow any of this
Homelessness, poverty, shootings and killings
How can a loving God allow the feelings of man to desolve
I don't believe He loves me
But inside I feel I need Him
I do need you Lord but why
When all I do is suffer and cry
I don't believe you love this world
Because the creation you've created
Disobeyed you now you've condemn us
When the truth of the matter is...
God's given us FREE will
The choices are yours and mine
God's condemnations and punishments
Only applies to us when we(I) disobey our Lord God
Crimes, murders, killings, rapes, wars, asaughts
Incests, fonications, adulteries
I don't believe you love this world
Because the creation you've created
Yet, after all the pains have worn off
And after my shame no longer remains
And my hurt feelings are now timed forgotten, turn to laugher
I don't believe He loves me
But inside I feel I need Him
I do need you Lord but why
It's not you Father God
The sin that is in this world
Is because of my choice cause I didn't want to listen
The sin that is in this world
Not your fault but mine
I do need you Lord but why
Why, because.....
I do need you Lord to live this and the next life

My dear friend James, skepticism is a virtue... "Did God created us or we created him?" Of course, I mean the way is written in old testament. Don't blame everything on God. The facts are the Truth....Read "Zealot,The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth" by R. Aslan, and "A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking. Your poem is great and lets hope for a savior ...

Oh, Pashang...I'm personally don't blame God for the evils of the world, and also sin nature.....There's just one word that sums up these negative acts... CHOICE.... Man chooses right/wrong good/evil (God right/wrong not mankinds) there is a difference. Peace Brother... thanks for the read James

Curiously written, James. We all know where your commitment lies, straight at the feet of your Lord Jesus. Well-done; a unique POV.
