Some Thoughts
James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)
Some Thoughts
Lord, Lord, what has gone wrong
Do I have a choice of what sex
I want to be
I thought You created a woman for me
Is it Satan's hex or fools we elect
Lord, Lord, what has gone wrong
They refuse to teach youngsters
to be wise
It this why they do not understand
And make spies and tell all the lies
Lord, Lord, what has gone wrong
It is as no one cares about your message
In order to live
I beg Your pardon if I hurt their feelings
It is my turn to deal and I am real
Lord, Lord, what has gone wrong
The world is in rebellion and not heaven
I know you see
You may have to throw another stone
From heaven to knock sense into stupidity
Lord, Lord, with all that is gone wrong
I pray for change and serenity that is real
In order that all sees
That you are not only the only Father
But the Maker and still the Taker
Through Jesus Christ
Amen!
