My Mind Wonders

If he holds the world in his hands
Then why has he left me all alone?
If he knows the thoughts of every man
Then why do mine feel unknown?

If his words will always set me free
Then why am I trapped in my own mind?
If he claims to have died for me
Then why must I die for man kind?

If I stand out in his eyes 
Then why am I unnoticed elsewhere?
If he protects me from Satan’s lies
Then why am I trapped in a nightmare?
