lyrics

My God doesn’t need my worship. He doesn’t feel I gotta kneel like he’s royalty. It’s pretty clear it’s not fear he’s after. He’s got no plan to demand my loyalty. My God isn’t insecure. He hears my prayer, but doesn’t care if I swear allegiance. Like a friend, he doesn’t tend to be offended. His love is not dependent on my blind obedience. But he likes it when I try my best to be a caring person and to learn from my mistakes, or when I stand up for what I think is right, or ask forgiveness for the promises that I break. And when some struggle is keeping me awake - can’t get no sleep, so I ask him in the night for a little help. He’ll usually say alright, if it’s a reasonable request. He’ll help me to rest; remind me I’m blessed. He knows all the cards I’ve held to my chest. He shows me the strength that I never guessed I always possessed. He knows that my faith is weak, but he lets me have my doubts. He knows I need to seek, to find what he’s about. And while I’ve got no proof of his existence, it seems like he’s listening, when I need some assistance. If your God tells you to kill in his honour, to martyr the bombers and copycat Dahmers. Or if he leads you like a lamb to the slaughter to damn your own daughter, dishonour your father, or mortar the border - just following orders, while waving your banner of hatred and anger, or poison the water to pocket a dollar, then maybe you ought to forget what they taught you and take time to ponder just a little bit longer, ‘cause maybe you’re wrong or perhaps you simply misinterpreted; just missed the meaning of the words you read. Perhaps you bought what someone marketed. You ever thought that maybe you got targeted? They took your despair and they harnessed it.
