If I were the LORD would I change this whole earth;
Would I fill people’s hearts with fun loving and mirth?
Would I grant every wish, only give what is best;
Would I let people choose, put their lives to the test?
If I were the LORD would I make wars to cease;
Would I use my Creation to bring about peace?
Would I rule with strict justice, give each person his due;
Would I bring grace to all or only favor a few?
If I were the LORD would I glorify man;
Would I let him decide and devise his own plan?
Would I place in him drives to do just as he’d please;
Would I defer to man’s will or bring each to his knees?
If I were the LORD Who is separate from sin,
I would do as He did and give choices to men.
I would love my Creation, only do what is best;
I would sacrifice self to keep harmony and rest.
The Great Creator of all did just this through the Son,
He created free will knowing His work was not done.
He knew man would rebel, choose to go his own way,
Yet He had already planned for sin’s price—He would pay!
JESUS CHRIST became man and a Servant of men,
HE gave up His Position to free Creation from sin.
HE healed broken lives, cured diseases, gave men sight;
HE dispelled all the darkness as True Love and Pure Light.
JESUS gave His Life’s blood offering salvation to all,
Who trust Him as their Savior and not man who did fall.
JESUS conquered death’s power and will soon end man’s strife;
HE is coming again as The Way, Truth and Life.
If you think you’d do better, then what plan would you make?
How might you rule Creation considering all that’s at stake?
Try your way, do your best, persuade others—teach them how;
But know this, my dear friend, that to JESUS all will bow!
