God's Eyes and Ears

God turns no deaf ear, no blind eye to me,
for where would be His unconditional love
if He would nurture not my destiny
but tinker solely with His heaven above?

God left His heaven to come here, suffer and die
just for me, so why would He now ignore
the prayer sincere of some poor sap as I,
who puts his hope in Him forevermore?

God only asks a little from me here,
why I ignore Him doesn’t make much sense,
He eagerly turns His eye and cocks His ear,
while I pass by His eye for merriments.

Why do I hide my eyes and ears from Thee,
Who gives His life, His love, His all for me?
