I'm A Big Boy, Now

What a tangled web we wove, When from our land the Lord we drove; Our world around began to fall, Folk asked, "Where God was through it all?"

His answer came with pained chagrin, 'You told me to leave ~ Not to come in; That you were big enough to handle your care, You had no need for Me ~ and prayer.

I took you at your word, you see, You were big now, and didn't need me; I stood there watching the big boy fall, Waiting once more for you to call.

And in spite of all your pride and sin, I'm ever present, as I've always been; So, humble yourself beneath my hand; I'll hear from heaven, and heal your land.

Remember, this time, with all its woes, And learn the truth a Big Boy knows; I am God; I hear the pleas, Of child, or nation, on it's knees.
