Still God

I've been listening to Godfrey Birtill song "Where, o where's your presence God" where it says

How we need to understand
You're still God even when we're unbelieving
You're still God even through the things that hurt us
You're still God when the government has no answers
Still God when the media lost the standard
Still God when the plans we make go worthless

I think these days I love God that He's so omnipotent, that he's SO above our religious systems, SO above our man-made divisions and our stumbling politic systems. I don't mean we shouldn't take part in efforts directed in changing society; media that's lost the standard for example.

But most times these days I just spontaneously burst in laughter when I read the insane headlines of yellow press magazines. Instead of moralising I just laugh at our earthly systems in amazement of Creators greatness. Cause EVEN WITHOUT GOD we can moralise, we can become worried,  legalistic and  depressed when we hear what's going on in the world. But without him it's really hard  to  keep the hope and gain sensitive and merciful attitude towards others and ourselves. I'm reminded of Thomas Merton again: "A saint does not know sin, he knows the mercy of God. He knows that his own mission on earth is to bring that mercy to all men."

You're still God even though You were rejected
Still you were ridiculed, deserted
Still God when You suffer an execution
Still God , You're alive
So we will be still and know You are God
