Doubting
I wish I could see God.
I suppose that is like asking,
when will the world and?
I wish he would an angel send
to speak to me, his child.
I know,
it sounds crazy and wild
but I do want to see God.
I want to see His splendour
and in a way,
I want to, well
I want to know if what I believe
is true.
I try not to be the Doubter
that was Thomas, saint, you know
I shouldn’t stoop that low.
But how can we believe what we
can’t see?
Yes, we have the miracles
but I didn’t see it.
It might just be hypocrisy,
it might just be a lie.
So why can’t God just come down once
and come and see me here?
There’s no need for a hoo har
an angel will do,
or a star.
Something out of the normal
that proves that God exists.
But anyway, who cares?
I believe in God,
and for you, that’s all that matters.
So there’s no use trying to flatter
me with words that make me doubt.
I say to you from me:
“Get behind me, Satan.”
But maybe, second thoughts, no
cause you don’t believe what I do.
I could just meow and moo
and it’d make no difference to you.
Yes, just one.
I ask you to stop my doubting
the God I’ve learnt to love.
I ask you would,
as every man should,
Stop temptations in my way
and well, I simply say,
Stop making me doubt.
