The God I Would Be

Never before tonight did I think I could kill a man
 And sink a knife deep into skin,
 But I could kill you.
 Surely I could wreck you,
 Because you wrecked them.
 You rapists, you abusers,
 You thieves, you murderers.
 I've taken my look around
 And all I've seen leads me to believe
 That if I was God,
 Heaven would be nearly empty
 And Hell would be overflowing.
 So thank God that I'm not God,
 And praise Him for being nothing like me.
 I would have forsaken man.
 So praise Him for being nothing like me,
 'Cause I would have let this world burn.
 If I was God, I would do unto you things unthinkable,
 Far beyond cruel and unusual.
 So thank God that I'm not God,
 And praise Him for being nothing like me.
 I would have forsaken man.
 So praise Him for being nothing like me.
 For those who ask,
 He gives His grace kindly.
 His forgiveness is beyond me.
 I would have let this world burn.
 And even to the most perverted man,
 And even to the most wretched man,
 His glory and mercy is given.
