Verse

I made all things, created mankind,

and today I have descended among man,

but man hits back and takes revenge on Me.

Is My work not helpful to man?

Am I unable to satisfy them?

Pre-chorus 1

Why, oh, why does man reject Me?

Why, oh, why is man so cold and indifferent?

Why, oh, why is the earth covered with corpses?

Is this the state of the world I made for man?

Why, oh, why when I give so great of riches,

man offers Me empty hands?

Chorus

Why, oh, why does man not cherish the utterances of My mouth?

Why, oh, why does man reject the utterances of My mouth?

I do not condemn; I merely want to calm them

and let them do the work of self-reflection.

Pre-chorus 2

Why, oh, why does man not truly love Me?

Why, oh, why does he never come before Me?

Could it be that all My words have been in vain?

Have they really vanished like heat from water?

Why, oh, why is man so unwilling

to cooperate with Me?

Chorus

Why, oh, why does man not cherish the utterances of My mouth?

Why, oh, why does man reject the utterances of My mouth?

I do not condemn; I merely want to calm them

and let them do the work of self-reflection.

Bridge

Is My day really the moment of man’s death?

Could I really destroy man when My kingdom is formed?

Why, oh, why during My entire management plan,

has no one grasped My will?

Chorus

Why, oh, why does man not cherish the utterances of My mouth?

Why, oh, why does man reject the utterances of My mouth?

I do not condemn; I merely want to calm them

and let them do the work of self-reflection.

I do not condemn; I merely want to calm them

and let them do the work of self-reflection.
