Who am I

In my pride

I boast within

Marvel at the wondrous works I did.

Surely God will love me

Surely he’ll be proud

screaming from the heavens all my deeds aloud!

Then I close my eyes

See my futile pride

Note my wondrous works for what they are, nothing but rags,

Filthy rags

And God says

Where were you when I created

All the planets of the sky?

Were you there when stars were scattered

all throughout the heavens high?

What are you that I should notice

such a speck of useless man

Come and see what I created

God of heaven and earth I am

In my cries

I see my sin

Marvel at all the works he did

Surely God did love me

Surely he is proud

Screaming from the heavens all His deeds aloud

Then I close my eyes

See him on the cross

Note his wondrous works for what they are, nothing but mercy, deeds of mercy.

And God says

Where were you when I created

All the planets of the sky?

Were you there when stars were scattered

all throughout the heavens high?

What are you that I should notice

such a speck of useless man

Come and see what I created

God of heaven and earth I am
