Sara McLaughlin Dear God Lyrics

We listened to this song in my class today and I just got fired up. Here are the lyrics.

Dear God,Hope you got the letter andI pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From GodI can't believe in you.
Dear God, Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in the amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street'
Cause they can't make opinions meetAbout God, I can't believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too?!
Dear God,Don't know if you noticed, but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is trueWell I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God,I can't believe in...I don't believe in...I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,And it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in.....It's you.....Dear God.


I just got so sick as I was listening to this. I almost wanted to cry but then at the same time I feel as if she needs prayer. Those of you that know Lauren F. and how she loves Britney Spears and prays for her, Well we need to do the same thing for other people that have an opportunity to speak into peoples lives. Music is very influetial esp when it has a nice ring to it. So instead of saying how horrible this song is and how horrible of a person the person must be that wrote it we should look more at how much they do need God and how great it would be for them to write a song about how awesome God is esp after writing this one.
Ok well this is enough blogging for one day. I guess this is what happens when I don't have class
