We think that God will look the other way,
When we willfully choose to go astray.
So with stubborn pride, we flaunt our sins,
And that is when our real trouble begins.

Our God is patient, merciful and kind,
But if we rebel, He'll swat our behind.
A wise father, He gives us what we need,
Spankings too, if we refuse to take heed.

Despite our sadness, He knows what's best,
His only desire is that we pass the test.
Though His anger be kindled for a spell,
If we just repent, all will soon be well.
