lyrics

My God doesn't hate because I love/ There is no judgment for who I am
My God doesn't smite the color of skin/ There is no color in my God's eyes
My God doesn't send countries to war/ His love waves no flags knows no boundaries
My God doesn't bomb children in need/ My God is a God of love

But it's man who condemns the land with his war and greed
But it's man; all of the hatred that tears us apart

My God doesn't curse freedom and liberty/ There are no politics to my God
My God doesn't stone women to death/ Such brutal scorn is not my God's way
My God doesn't ignore human rights/ We are all equal in my God's eyes
My God shows no bias for religions/ There is love for all in my God's heart

But it's man who enslaves and murders in some god's name
But it's man who judges and tortures and claims justice

The challenge we face and our problems are great/ We seek answers to questions we do not know
But there's love, peace and harmony
We are the same in my God's eyes/ Though we fight for the same land and kill our own
Christians & Muslims & Jews alike we are one

My God is a god of forgiveness and love/ We need only understand to heal ourselves
My God made this world a perfect place to share with all creatures great and small
My God and your God are both the same/ My God rests within my heart
My God says to hurt another is wrong/ My God helped me to write this song

But it's man who destroys and breeds hate in some god's name
But it's man with bombs and guns who inflicts so much grief

Since the earliest civilizations man has struggled to give meaning to why we are here. Man has struggled with the meaning of life. Man has struggled with morality and understanding the seasons. Man has struggled with nature. Man has struggled with himself. We hold hard and fast to what we believe we know. We fight and kill for our beliefs in the name of our various Gods. Many times when we think we are worshipping God, we are actually comforting our fragile egos. We are running from our insecurities. The uncertainty of our being puzzles us all. But certainty is a vice not a virtue.
