My Crystal Ball

I have a crystal ball, you know,

That I gaze upon each day.

There's no mystery in what I see,

But only in what they say.

 

Better I not know their thoughts,

Their actions are plain enough.

Sometimes I wish I could not see,

The horrors of such stuff.

 

O Lord you know the minds of all,

And yet you died for us.

There is some good in every one,

Though we be cantankerous.
