WHY

WHY
Why is it God the Father
Who created man and beast
Has more trouble with us humans
Than the beasts which are the least?

The Ox does know his owner,
And the ass his master's crib
But us mortals mock our Maker
Unthankfully act so glib.

At first we just ignore Him
Just as though He were not there,
Then comes our gross defiance,
Sinning acts we even dare.

Yet God's great love and mercy
Is held out where ere' we roam
If we'll come back to our Maker
Like the beasts who know their home.
(c) G. Blank

Hear,O heavens,
and give ear, O earth:
for the Lord hath spoken,
I have nourished and brought
up children,
and they have rebelled against me.
The ox knoweth his owner,
and the ass his Master’s crib:
but Israel doth not know,
My people doth not consider.
Isaiah 1:2-3
