Only If

Lord I want to thank you for everything you’ve done
To show you how thankful I am 
For all the things you’ve shown
Lord sometimes we can be so ungrateful
Being mad at you 
Resenting you
But you always have the last word
You always turn things around
To show how glorious Your hand is
On everything
And how miraculous it is
On anything
You’ve touched
You have proved me wrong 
Time after time
But do I listen?
Why is that God?
Why is it so hard to trust You
To have to find out for ourselves
When we have it in front of us
Then we believe?
Why?
