Ogre In the Sky (That’s Not Me!)

You picture Me as an Ogre in the sky

who enjoys watching innocent people die

You think I am some sort of tyrant who

will torture those who won’t do all I want them to

but that’s not Me. No, that’s not Me.

You blame Me for the folks who die in scores

of hunger, sicknesses, disasters, countless wars

Cause, after all, you say, if I am God,

why don’t I make all of this madness stop

But that’s not up to Me, it’s not up to Me.

Cause have one fair look around:

food and aid would abound

and it’s surely not I

Who cause the drums of war to sound

You picture Me as this old, mean, unfair Guy

Who blesses all the rich and lets poor people die

Who smiles on those who neatly go to church

and frowns on those who question, doubt and search

but that’s not Me, no that’s not Me

Cause all I am and all I’ve always been

is Love and love alone, though that’s not what you’ve seen

So give Me a chance and just take out the trash

That clutters up your mind & let Me show you that

that’s just not Me, no, that’s not Me

Cause have one fair look around:

All that you need abounds

And if you give it a try

You’ll find what changes you’ll evoke by sharing some of what you’ve found

You picture Me as an Ogre in the sky

who enjoys watching innocent people die

You think I am some sort of tyrant who

will torture those who won’t do all I want them to

but that’s not Me. No, that’s not Me.
