Where Was God?

Where Was God?

When tragedy strikes, you hear people say,

"Where was God? He wasn't here today."

Why do you think God would do things so bad...

Do you think it would make him feel glad?

"God is for real, Satan's just a joke.."

is what life is like to so many folk.

Satan is real and causes much trouble..

Not with cauldrons and all the bubbles.

He just sends a message, a thought or two,

"You don't deserve what happened to you."

That's what begins so many tragedies,

Revenge blinds someone, so they can't see.

Most people just don't want to know,

That Satan put on a pretty good show.

They blame God for everything done...

They don't see he just isn't the one.

It plays into Satan's game so well,

Getting so many to march into Hell...

Not knowing "the joke" was really on them.

Their anger made reality grow so dim.

How do you think God feels about us,

if we run around and make a fuss...

blaming him for causing such pain?

It's nothing more than really a shame.

God sent us Jesus: he sent us his son,

He sent his beloved to reach everyone,

Jesus said in the Bible, it's so clear

"These are the things, I heard you did hear.

Listen to me and I'll straighten it out,

God loves you dearly without a doubt.

Believe and have faith, I'm here with you,

I'll give up my life out of love for you."

Jesus died to rise again and show,

how much God loves us, did you know?

Jesus went, he said, to prepare a place,

Where there will be love and no more hate.

So when all around you looks so dark,

Events happen that tug at your heart,

God didn't cause the things that are bad,

if you believe that, you have been had.
