Poem - Do You Really Care For God

WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING I TRIED TO CLEAR MY HEAD

I HAD A DREAM SO VIVID I SAT RIGHT UP IN BED

I DREAMED THE LORD KNOCKED ON MY DOOR AS I WELCOMED HIM INSIDE

HIS EYES WERE RED AND SWOLLEN FROM ALL THE TEARS HE'D CRIED

I SAID LORD WHAT'S THE MATTER WHY ARE YOU SO SAD

YOU LOOK AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAS HURT YOU REALLY BAD

HE GATHERED HIS COMPOSURE THEN HE SLOWLY SHOOK HIS HEAD

I COULD FEEL THE PAIN HE BORE WHEN UNTO ME HE SAID

MY FATHER HAS A LOT OF NAMES BUT HIS CHARACTER TAKES ON

DIFFERENT FORMS AND PERSONALITIES TO MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN

HE IS JEHOVAH JIRAH YOUR NEEDS HE WILL SUPPLY

BUT HE CAN BE A BEGGAR AND SO MANY PASS HIM BY

HE IS JEHOVAH SHALOM WHO GIVES YOU PEACE WITHIN

BUT HE CAN BE A WIDOW AND HE SEES ONCE AGAIN

THAT PEOPLE JUST DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO DO THE THINGS HE ASKS

SOME PEOPLE SEEM MORE CONTENT TO HIDE BEHIND A MASK

YET WHEN THEY STAND BEFORE HIM ON THAT JUDGEMENT DAY

I'M AFRAID SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HEAR HIM SAY

I GAVE YOU MANY CHANCES JUST HOPING YOU WOULD SEE

THE WAY YOU TREAT THE DOWN AND OUT IS HOW YOU'VE TREATED ME

ALL THOSE WHO WERE NEEDY AND LACKING ON THE EARTH

ARE NOW BASKING IN MY GLORY AS I PROVE TO THEM THEIR WORTH
