what were you expecting of me?
 a cripple? a devil?
a fat man in a red hat?
don't talk to me like that.

And just what did you want to hear?
and what did you want to see
because whatever you wanted, -
   it obviously wasn't me.

If you had asked for me
I would have given myself
but you asked for a god-shaped box
   to put on your Sunday shelf.

You asked for a good luck charm
you asked for a santa clause
you asked expecting easy
from a God without any claws.

You wanted love but no justice
you wanted only gifts and grace
You forgot that a God of mercy
has a plan for the whole human race.

You completely forgot about glory
You completely forgot about sin
your god - an impotent puppet
why don't you go call upon him.
