Where was God

It's the ninth anniversary of the attack on the world trade center. Many people asked this question, and I've heard others say that they don't believe in God because of the bad things that happen in the world today. Here's my answer.

Where Was God
The towers fell and people cried
Where was God when those people died?
A cry that echoed throughout the ages
Where is God when chaos rages?
Where was God when disaster struck?
Where is God when we run out of luck?
Where was God when things went wrong?
He was their all along
He was in the towers, He was on the plane
He saw the death He felt the pain
He was so close when his children died
For every tear that fell, He also cried
Being the loving parent is almost a curse
Standing watching your children do their worst
Why didn’t He use his power and voice?
But they wouldn’t have listened and he gave them choice
He used His power so we could be free
To act on our own and be what we be
His gift to us he won’t take away
No matter how wrong our choices stray.
But where is God when life gets grim
He’s next to us hoping we’ll remember Him
