WITH OPEN ARMS
For those who succumb to the hand of evil
<><><><>
On the day that we are born
An angel is assigned
To give us reassurance
We’re always on God’s mind.
Yes! It’s true, we have free will,
Which often goes awry,
And when disaster happens
We always ask God why.
We are not Heaven’s robots –
Each has a face and name,
And when things don’t go our ways
God’s not the one to blame.
The evil that’s among us
Results from our free will.
Though innocents will suffer,
God’s love is with us, still.
He weeps for evil’s victims
Whose innocence is lost.
He wails for all His children
Whose lives just paid the cost.
God ordered all the angels
To stand at Heaven’s Gate
And form two lines at Heaven’s door,
Then bow their heads and wait.
On His command, Heaven’s gate
Was quickly opened wide.
With angels at attention,
God welcomed all inside.
