My Lord

Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)

My lord
I don’t mean to question you
I just don’t understand the things you do
Yes you work in mysterious ways
Seems like a child at play
Forcing your way
Yet giving free will
To you the strong are weak
And the well are ill
You confuse the intelligent
You humble the exalted
You place in power whoever you choose
My Lord I wish I understood you
