You Asked Him to Leave
Special report on the six o'clock news
Another shooting in another school
And six rounds fired, three lives lost, a gun in the wrong hand
Oh what a cost
The whole town gathers, as questions fly
Why God allowed three children to die
Then old Mr Carter stepped forward and said
It seems you forgot what you did
God wasn't allowed in your school today
But you wanted it that way, didn't you?
God is not the one to blame, and he didn't bring your fame
I say to you, he didn't cause this tragedy
He wasn't there, remember you asked him to leave
Last night, I had a terrible dream
There was violence and anger in the streets
No way to escape, a world in distress
No houses of prayer, no peace, no rest
And those, there among us who wanted God gone
Stood in confusion, wondering what went wrong
With their face in their hands
Not sure what was next
I looked in their eyes and said
What did you expect?
God wasn't allowed in your world today
But you wanted it that way, didn't you?
God is not the one to blame
And he didn't bring your pain, I say to you
He didn't cause this tragedy
He wasn't there, remember you asked him to leave
Oh, he didn't cause this tragedy
Cause he wasn't there, remember you asked him to leave
No, he wasn't there, remember you asked him to leave
Another shooting in another school
And six rounds fired, three lives lost, a gun in the wrong hand
Oh what a cost
The whole town gathers, as questions fly
Why God allowed three children to die
Then old Mr Carter stepped forward and said
It seems you forgot what you did

But you wanted it that way, didn't you?

Oh, he didn't cause this tragedy
Cause he wasn't there, remember you asked him to leave
No, he wasn't there, remember you asked him to leave
