NOT IN GOD'S PLAN

NOT IN GOD'S PLAN

It was never God’s plan to raise a hand to our brother,

He gave us His example.. to love one another.

The Lord never judged man by the color of his skin,

To Him it mattered not of a person’s origin.

Nor was it God’s plan against our neighbors to turn,

But to extend helping hands.. from each other to learn.

God said “Love thy neighbor”.. not only next door

But whomever we meet.. countries.. from shore to shore.

But somewhere along the way God’s words got put aside,

And one does what only seems right ..in his own eyes.

The beam in his own eye has blocked sight of what’s right,

Leading to terrorism.. wars.. solving disagreements with might.

So God leaves us to our devices.. his eyes filled with tears,

We can’t expect not to reap what’s been sown for years.

Now tragedy brings us together.. we feel the wrath of man;

It’s time to wake up! Remember.. hate was not in God’s plan.
