Stronger

If God is my masterHow long will I last for
The burden is heavy today
My life in the world of disaster
I think we all wonder
If we need to be perfect or
If ever he hear us pray
Did their divorce get back together
Are her bad dreams getting any better
When her great daddy left her forever
And was that hurricane really just weather
I wonder sometimes.
I wonder why bad things happen to good people
I wonder why the most rotten run to the steeple
I wonder why it was only the really hard core
They raise their hands
they fall on the floor
They beat their wives
before they go to the liquer store
It is funny they wonder,
why no one wants to be saved.
How come it says in the good book,
That once there was a price took
I wonder do they ever even look
At the reason I go there
After all, there is no one to care
I do not know about them,
but the God I serve is real
I know he loves us, I know he heals.
He never cheated me, and he does not steal.
I know he was with me when
my parents divorced, and after
I know he is even there when i am bursting with laughter
He was always right there when I broke down on the floor
When I was cheated and abused;
Mistreated, used, taken by force
Par for the course
The God I serve is not in a church, or a book.
My God is not in meaningless rules, take a good look
He is the father that waits arms open,
While we have fun our own way.
He is the one that hurts when we are hurting,
He is there for us those days
He can't make bad people better.
He can't choose the life you get or
Fix this world of corruption and hate
But even the prostitute, he did not forget her.
He gave the gift to all of us,
Not the holy, the rightious
He has the pen in hand
He writes us a blank contract
To give us His inheritance, His land.
I don't worship that steeple
I will not be another cheap fool
I pray to a real God up above.
Though He can not make it all right.
He grabs the ones in sight
And begs them to help us for Him
In spite of the sin, the pain, the problems.
I think I can wait a little bit longer.
Even if I never get any stronger
If it means showing one more, why I am here.
