What do you think of the lyrics to Neil Young's new song?
"When God Made Me"
Was he thinkin' about my country
or the color of my skin?
Was he thinkin' 'bout my religion
And the way I worshipped him?
Did he create just me in his image
Or every living thing?
When God made me
Was he planning only for believers
Or for those who just have faith?
Did he envision all the wars
That were fought in his name?
Did he say there was only one way
To be close to him?
When God made me
Did he give me the gift of love
To say who I could choose
When God made me
Did he give me the gift of voice
So some could silence me
Did he give me the gift of vision
Not knowing what I might see?
Did he give me the gift compassion
To help my fellow man?
When God made me

That is a great song off a great CD. Neil Young has always been one of my very favorite singers even when I was still a jw. I always liked "One of these days" . It's an old one but I never get tired if hearing it.

"when i talked to god i knew he'd understand
