The Right Place Lyrics

Great tune. Very catchy. But containing self-righteous, and blasphemous lyrics. The very idea that a creature (and a fallen one at that) would demand an answer from his Creator (see the book of Job for when a comparatively righteous man calls God to the table, and observe the necessary and humbling results), and not only to demand an immediate answer, but to suggest that God might (or rather does, and needs to recognise in himself) have some unjustness in Him, and then to suggest that God (you know, the omnipotent Creator?) needs to "think long and hard about it"; and then, to top it all off, to say the he (the singer/writer) is able to find goodness in what he does and says is the empitome of insanity, self-righteousness, delusion, laziness, and stupidity. If he wants an answer from God, he'll have to go about getting the answers via the means that God has provided -- through the prayerful, humble, and diligent use of the reading, and the hearing of the preaching, and submissino to His Word (the books of the Old and New Testaments, and them alone!). Other than that, the only "immediate" answer he can expect from God is going to be the face-to-face rebuke he'll incur at the Last Day. He won't be opening his face to the Lord on that Day, I can assure you of that.
