If God

If God can forgive me
Then why can’t you
If God say you are beautiful
Because you are mine
Why can’t you encourage 
Me some of the time
If God has compassion 
Deep for me in his heart
Would it hurt you to be like him?
Not selfish but smart

If God can take my tears
And turn them into joy
Why must you dream
Of things to destroy
If God made this world 
And put us in it
There is no respect of person
Because God children are many

If God made the sea
And the ocean so wide
The least you can do is
Get rid of your pride
If God heal the sick and
Surly raised the dead 
What about the five 
Thousand souls he fed

I am your sister or
Maybe even your brother
Put aside hatred and
Let’s love one another
If God did all these things
He did it for a reason
That we are to win souls
No matter what the season

If God can look at me
And not see race
Why you judge me when 
You look in my face
If God can see who I am
When he look in my eyes
Why can’t you except what
God made me inside

God can do all these things 
Because he is God
But what’s your excuse for
Your mean and cold heart
God is an example of how
We should live on earth
This is why he came, and
The reason for his birth

If we can be like God, as far
As our souls is able
 We can laugh about our troubles
Around the welcome table
Knowing that through our trial
And every single stone
Patient brought forth joy and
We finally made it home.
