Why 911

When evil men took all those lives, the world was asking, “Why?”

How could God let this happen? Why did so many die?

We need to stop and think a bit, how we have treated God,

We spend our lives ignoring Him while living on His sod.

At Christmastime we go to church, sometimes at Easter too,

But fifty other weeks a year, we’ve better things to do.

We even say a prayer or two when we begin to fear,

But living like the Bible says? … We just don't want to hear.

We do not want Him in our homes, He's been expelled from school,

We do not want Him in our lives, His way is just not …“cool.”

We'll call on Him when someone dies, make vows at weddings too,

When someone in our home is ill, we'll say a prayer or two.

At school they're not allowed to pray, the Bible can't be read,

For God is not allowed at school until some kids are dead.

At Christmastime we'll tell the kids of Santa and his sleigh,

With just a token mention of the Christ who came that day.

At Easter we might mention God but bunnies are the thing,

Forget the teachings of His Word, to fairytales we cling.

When evil men took all those lives, the world was asking, “Why?”

How could God let this happen? Why did so many die?

The answer's very simple, it always has been known,

The Bible says we have a choice, we reap what we have sown.
