My Face is a Poor Reflection

This smile on my face
is really out of place.
When the truth of the matter
is I really want to tell
the greater part of the human race
to go straight to hell.
But then, they are headed there anyway,
and for them I am supposed to pray
because God loves us all
no matter our sin, large or small.
That's why He's God, and I'm not.
Bet you couldn't tell.
That's a joke.

Created in His image
I've a long way to go
to even begin to show
the remotest reflection.
But, thank God,
He's not looking for perfection.
It's already been done
in the life of His Son;
and I get to tag on
as if it was me who had won
the battle over death and the grave.

When I look at the evil
conceived in the minds of men;
it is hard for me to see
why God would bother
with any of us.
But He does, and He will
until the end comes.
