The One In Control Poem by Randy McClave

Only a fool thinks that God is not in control
He is always with every soul,
He has given everyone their own free will
And they can accept or deny to carry the cross up the hill.
Why does God allow this, some will always say
Doesn't God listen to us when we cry and then pray
Why does God ever allow this or that to ever happen
Doesn't he hear the sinners and the Devil clappin'.
God allows it to happen because it's not time yet
Though he sees and feels the pain and the regret,
And though an unbeliever will say or believe that God is not in command
Remember, the past and the future God has already planned.
And I say this with all certainty and without a doubt
God already has all things figured and lined out,
But, sometimes God will not fix the crime or the sin
Because, we would just pollute, hate, steal or start another war again.
