Oh Jesus



“Oh Jesus!”---
By Michael…

I heard the lord the other day…
He ask me why we’re acting this way…
I really had nothing that I could say---

I gave you oceans and you poisoned my Fish…
I gave you trees for Oxygen and their on your list…
You taking care of the world I only wish---

I gave you clouds and they’re poisoned by rain…
I gave you great Lakes and now they’re a stain…
You people should know that this is really insane---

And you did all this damage after I came-----

And then what happened to my message of Love…
You know I see everything up here from above---

These Wars that you have are all about Greed…
I don’t understand I thought I planted the seed---

I wanted my message of Love to grow…
And you’re killing each other down there below---

I leave you alone for a few thousand years…
And every time I look down I break into tears---

So please if you can answer one question for me…
Is there anything down there that I can’t really see?---

To me it looks like the world’s filled with sin…
I should use my wrath and start over again---

Can you tell me of good that might change my mind?...
May I reach down in your heart and see what I find?---
----******------
Oh Jesus I hear you and I feel your Pain…
But look deep in my Heart some people are sane!---

Your message of love exists all around…
But it’s being muffled by the sound of wars on the ground---

I live by that message of love that you gave…
I teach it to children and them you must save---

Look deep in my heart and you will know this is true…
That love still exists and it all came from you---

Look at my love for my children .. you’ll feel what I say…
You taught me this love and it’s still here today---  *****
