If God Went on Strike!!



It's just a good thing,
GOD above has never gone on strike,
Because HE wasn't treated fair,
or things HE didn't like,
If HE had ever once sat down, and said,
"That's it, I'm through, I've had enough of those on Earth",
So this is what I'LL do,
I'll give my orders
To the sun - Cut off the heat supply
To the moon - Give no more light
To the oceans - Run all the waters dry to the grounds
Then just to really make it tough, and to put the pressure on
To the Trees - let your leaves blow no more , cut off the air and oxygen,
Until every breath is completely gone
Do you know that God would be Justified?
For no one has ever been more abused or treated with distain than GOD
And yet GOD carries on supplying you and me,
With all the favors of HIS GRACE,
And everything for FREE

Men/Women say they want a better deal
And on strike they go,
But what a deal we've given GOD
To whom everything we owe,
We don't care whom we hurt or harm
To gain the things we like,
But what a mess we would all be in
IF GOD SHOULD GO ON STRIKE
