Dear Mr. God...




Dear Mr. God
By The Warren Brothers
From Letters to God

Dear Mr. God,
I'm writing You today
Because it seems like lately I've forgotten how to pray
I know I don't need this pen
But everybody likes to get a letter now and then
I'm sorry for not writing more

Cuz I need You but it's hard to see
Why anyone as big as You needs anything from me
I know You're there
Say, how've You been?
I'm all right but I can't lie
Sometimes I feel like giving in
You're all I've got

Dear Mr. God
Sometimes I wish You lived next door
So over coffee You could tell me what You started all this for
I guess You saw that sunrise yesterday
Thanks for the reminder that You've never gone away
It gives me hope telling You what You already know

I need You but it's hard to see
Why anyone as big as You needs anything from me
I know You're there
Say, how've You been?
I'm all right, but I can't lie, sometimes I feel like giving in

Dear Mr. God
Tell me, do You ever cry when we forget to thank You for the good things in our lives?
I know I can't always understand why You do the things You do
But I know in the end I'll make it through if I stand next to You
So here I am

Dear Mr. God
I'm writing You today
Because it seems like lately I've forgotten how to pray
