Wrath of God or Wrongness of Man?
by Michael Doyle

There is no doubt that God is against sin
In His Bible, He records this again and again
God's truth exchanged for man's lies
Reveals why it is that man now dies

When darkness is chosen, not light
All appears as if living in the night
Given the choice between deceptive philosophy
Me and mine will choose God's theology

God is merciful and just in his attributes
Each of His paths serves for what these contribute
By the mercy of the cross always preserving
More love and mercy than we are deserving

Greek culture believed what is seen through their eyes
And they believed this way to be the most wise
But in the beginning, God created all we might see
And asked only in return that we worship His divinity

What passes for man's wisdom is merely the shadow
The real light is outside the cave of what we know
Those who have escaped and return then to teach
Finds that those preferring darkness remain out of reach

All of nature points to the source of its creation
That is to God the creator, who is life's inspiration
All of life's successes are a matter of compatibility
This points away from randomness and toward spirituality

Eyes grow wide with God's creation, it gives much to amaze
As we long to understand God's transcendence in our days
It is no accident that belief serves the best for our humanity
Our best does not fall to the ideology of immorality

Rejection of God is an exchange of truth for living a lie
It is the spiritual closing of our dying eyes
The righteous love with the aim of God's will being done
Those who reject this argue that their sinful will be done

It is our sinful nature that is the contradiction
It is our wrath against the conditions of our own creation
Indeed, every single one of us has the Devil inside
This is the truth that those such as I readily confide

Righteousness reveals two sides - sacrifice and service
These reveal the truth of humanity's meaning and purpose
It would be spiritual malpractice not to openly state
That doing the opposite of God's will is what creates our fate

Let this liberating truth be openly known
In all of this, may God's light be glowing
It is God that provides life course correction
Guiding us to keep the flow in the right direction

Let a prayer full of miracles show the right way
For each of us to best live our living days
Following God's will and leaving behind our own
Provides the truest path for us to privately atone
