You see God,
They told me you did not exist,
And ... like a fool,
I believed all of this.

Last night from a shell hole,
I saw your sky,
I figured right then,
They had told me a lie.

Had I taken the time
To see the things you made,
I would know they weren't calling
A spade a spade.

I wonder, God ...
If You'd shake my hand;
Somehow I feel,
That you will understand.

Funny, I had to come
To this hellish place,
Before I had the time
To see your face.

Well, I guess there isn't
Much more to say;
But I'm sure glad, God,
I met you today.

I guess the "zero hour"
Will soon be here,
But I am not afraid
Since I know "You" are near.

The signal! ... Well, God,
I'll have to go;
I like you lots ...
This I want you to know.

Look, now, this will be
A horrible fight;
Who knows ... I may come
To your house tonight.

Though I wasn't friendly
With you before,
I wonder, God,
If you'd wait at Your door?

Look ... I'm crying!
Me!  Shedding tears!
I wish I'd known You
These many years.
