If God Was Walking On Earth

If God came down and walked on earth
He would see bombs going off where His son was given birth
He wouldn’t see people treating their body like temples of God
He would also see other making fun of those who are really smart of odd

If God went to high school
He would be hurt, heartbroken, and appalled by those who think they are “cool”
He would have to cover his ears because he hears people using His Holy Name 
in vain
He would be so hurt, disappointed, and heartbroken and tears would fall like rain

He would be the one that the jocks and preps called “Jesus Freak”
Just because he is humble, caring and meek
He may not be well liked at all 
Some people may laugh at Him in the hall

If God walked around Iraq and Sudan, he would see people living in fear
His heart would ache for them, for He loves his children so dear
He would probably be depressed by the daily news
For it only points out people wrongdo’s

This world has become a very sad place
If someone a person loves is called to heaven, they curse at God’s face
There are so few people who ask for God’s help and care
And those who don’t care more about what they wear
