Shall I Ever See God's Face

Bewildered I look up to the sky So many unanswered questions As years quickly pass me by So many different religions How do I know which one is right Am I destined to wander aimlessly Through life like swine towards slaughter Where do I get the strength so that My faith does not totter? Everyone has their own views on who God truly is but I don't see the love Amongst his earthly children Fighting, killing, dying by the sword and Swear to do so in the name of the Lord God Almighty to you I implore For as much as I've seen how can I ignore Who is, in fact, waging this war? Is there only one way to reach you? Should I beg for mercy? For living by the rules of man Or for trying to live life by rules I can't fully understand? What, in fact, is our instruction? What for us was the original plan? Dear Father I see so much hurt In the eyes of man but who before You Could honestly stand?
