Have you ever felt like you were being attacked by someone who was misjudging you? Have you ever been misunderstood, as someone has believed the worst about you, when you were reaching out to that person in love? I have. One summer day, I found myself in a situation where I had unsuspectingly stepped into a brewing storm. I was shocked, hurt, stunned. After I escaped into seclusion, the tears which had started turned into heart wrenching sobs. I tried to think of how God must have felt when this world rejected and misunderstood Him when He had sent Christ to save them. To express my feelings, I wrote this song:
Verse 1:
A guilty world of sinful souls, rejecting their Creator.
A slighted God looking from above at mankind against it’s Maker.
Misunderstanding reigned in life, a result of sin’s rebellion;
Betrayal, anger, and bitter strife, required God’s salvation.
Chorus:
But as His Son died upon a tree, nailed and bruised in agony,
So few would turn to look above and see that God is love.
Verse 2:
The remedy for sinful man is by many not elected,
The consequences still abound as salvation is rejected.
There will be time, God did decide, to give men to repent,
Not willing that any should perish or die His only Son He sent.
Verse 3:
A selfish, stubborn, rebellious world still refuses to love their Maker,
Instead they love their sinful pleasures rejecting the Savior.
Their hearts are given to idols here as they worship at their feet,
But the broken heart of a loving God reaches down for man to meet.
