What Do You Think About God?
Psalm 50:21 

God made us in His image
        That's how it all began.
Now God is made, we believe,
        Into the image of man!

The sinner thinks that God is like him
        Whenever he is sinning,
For "Good" is always loosing
        And "Evil" is always winning.

He blames God for his weakness
        Because God "...made him that way".
The scientist says, "It is in the genes!"
        Thus, man sins day by day.

Because man finds forgiveness
        Something that is hard to do
He thinks that God, the great Forgiver,
        Can't forgive folk like me or you.

And because those little people
        Are not worthy of making a fuss,
We assume that God, like we do,
        Will never ever think of us.

But let us learn from what God wrote
        Within His sacred book,
To see REALITY as it really is
        And not the way it may look!

For God, someday, we know,
        Will truly judge all sin.
While He does love the sinner
        Evil will not FINALLY win.

And He who made the universe
        Made the little sparrow too,
And He who minds the little bird
        Will also care for you.

Now, although we may sometimes find
        Our promises often hard to keep,
And when we do fail others
        We may not find it hard to sleep.

Then when we hear what God has promised,
        We think He will do what we have done
And so we cannot trust His promises.
        He may not keep a single one.

Or when we think of other people
        (We don't mean to be unkind)
Yet we avoid those we meet
        Who look strange or are sick or blind.

Then we think that God, like we,
        Will feel as we often do
And He will fail to stay with us
        All our whole lives through.

Thank God that He is not like we are
        But good and perfect and true,
And He will keep His promises
        As only a God can do!
