Why I ask, does the lord unceasingly takes
whatever delight of which a heart does make?
Thereupon the evils of sorrow he gladly sends
to render poor souls in depression to the end

It is only but a shadow’s dreadful eye to see
of apparent lament and misfortune comes to thee
Thus live upon a life in constant flows of suffering
Alas! to this a belief that I; born the undeserving.

(God Speaks)

I see you coming and going upon the trembling of the Earth
as in the world’s first days, but great is the difference,
my work is no longer within me.
I have given it entirely to you…

I hate to say it (Translation: I love to say it)....but God has a thoroughly stone age sense of humor.
