Once I took something that wasn’t mine,
About which fact I denied.
I said “No, this belongs to me!”
SUDDENLY , GOD CRIED!

One day I said some threatening words
That made some poor soul terrified.
I laughed, I thought it was funny!
BUT MOURNFULLY, GOD CRIED !

I loved to brag and say things
That would really boost my pride,
To make folks think I’m wonderful.
AND SO, GOD CRIED!

A friend told me a deep secret,
In me, she thought she’d confide.
Then I told that secret to someone else.
AND ANGRILLY, GOD CRIED!

Then one day I heard a rumor
That I never had verified,
And I just kept on spreading it.
SO HURTFULLY, GOD CRIED!

I said something that hurt someone,
And suddenly that  friendship died.
And I never asked for forgiveness.
THEREFORE, GOD CRIED!

I saw a dirty, homeless man
So I crossed to the other side.
I never offered to help him.
SADLY, GOD CRIED!

Then someone came begging food
And I brushed them aside.
I was too busy with my own things.
OH ! HOW GOD CRIED!

My mother said “Don’t hang out with him!”
I won’t I said...but I lied.
I went to meet him anyway.
OF COURSE, GOD CRIED!

I talked back to my parents
And I know they hurt deep down inside.
I said lots of things I shouldn’t have.
HOW SADLY GOD CRIED!

Then one day I had this terrible feeling
That I knew I could no longer hide...
On my knees I said “ Lord please forgive me!”
He said, “ FINALLY!”
THEN HE CRIED!
