We Take the Fall

You hardly ever hear it, when someone does a good deed.
God, made me do it.
You hardly hear it, when someone receives something in need.
In addition, did God do it?
You never hear of the amazing deeds, done each day for the poor.
God, helped do it.
Churches helping people, which are in need to pay bills,
Missions feeding many people; who would have nothing at all,
Is it God or just people’s good wills?
Then again, when someone kills someone, we might say.
The Devil, made me do it.
When people are sick, sometimes they are possessed by.
The Devil; did it.
You never hear of anyone possessed by good.
God; never did it.
Each of us has the potential of either good or evil.
We have the choice and choices, since times primeval.
Along with every decade and now chased by each,
I am a believer in both, God and Jesus, his son.
I believe their power, is beyond any others reach.
So why do we never say, God made me do it?
This is my explanation, what he did teach.
God cannot make, any human, do anything at all.
Free will; is the boundary, this is where; we take the fall.
