Linda Winchell - 'If'

If God knows every grain of sand, then why not take the time for Him?
If God hears all the prayers we pray, then why not say one for me?
If God knows every hair that lay atop our heads, we so carlessly brush away
Then why is it you never visit Him, or take the time to kneel and pray?

If only, could I understand what makes up the human spirit, of humanity
If only, could I see what really lay within men's hearts and in their minds
If only, to know the answers to these questions of which I pose
If only, If only, If all these things in life where those IF's I've known.
