Man arrives in Heaven to be judged and blames God for what has happened. God explains that it was not him who killed his wife and that it is not Man's time to die.

lyrics

Sitting here with gun in hand and a memory of her
Should I go through with my plan?
Life without her seems absurd.
And as I pull the trigger I know no my deed is done.
I never thought I'd search for truth
in the barrel of a gun

I'm on my way, Lord, I'm on my way.
I'll see you soon, Love, I'll see you soon.
Now face to face, Lord, I'll stay my case.
But standing for judgement, maybe I'm wrong.
I feel I've been wrong...

How could you do this to me?
I would rather not loved than lost.
I would not have accepted your love
If I had known the cost.

Can't you see it was not me who took your wife away?

You're the one who let it happen,
you could have stepped in at any time.
They all say you are a just Lord,
please tell me what was her crime.

She was just an innocent in the wrong place and time

Man is not a puppet with strings
I gave you all free will
If Man would do as I have taught
your wife would be here still
Your time will come but your time is not now
Go back and show the world
tell them what you have learned
