How can a good God allow evil?
The question is so often asked
Now that we have such enormities in our recent past.
Maybe He’s just a prime mover
Maybe He’s not there at all
Maybe he’s gotten disgusted and sits staring at a wall
Or maybe he can’t make a difference
Maybe he’s just ineffectual
If so, you may be disillusioned if he fails to resurrect you all.
But I – I believe in free will
I think we can chose our own way
And so I think we can blame only ourselves, at the end of the day
Ourselves and each other, if we are called to account at the end of the day.

I admit it: Satan tempted me to do it. In this case, he was masquerading as that rhyme in the third verse.
