As I was driving home today, BROOKS & DUNN song “God Must Be Busy” came over the radio. I know, I know, Brooks and Dunn. You must be thinking “Vic, are you listening to country music?” Yeah, I admit it. Some days I don’t know what to think about the war in Iraq or the feeling of disillusionment I get from CNN’s crazy coverage of the primaries. Then a song comes over the radio and I start to make sense of it all. Then I do the hardest thing: say a prayer.
“That anchor man says the fight began
somewhere in the Middle East.
The world prays for peace.
There’s a single mom just got laid off when she lost a job
to some foreign hands in some faraway land.
Last night in Oklahoma some twister took thirteen
and they’re praying that they find the missing three.
God must be busy.
That highway sign went from slow ahead
to traffic’s dead.
Thought it couldn’t get worse than that Amber Alert.
They say she’s 4,
Colorado plates, headed out-of-state in a Chevy van.
It’s hard to understand.
You can see it in the faces of all those highway strangers,
they’re praying that God keeps that girl from danger.
God must be busy.
And I know in the big picture
I’m just a speck of sand
and God’s got better things to do
than look out for one man.
I know he’s heard my prayers
cause he hears everything,
he just ain’t answered back
or he’d bring you back to me.
God must be busy.
That evening news,
Ain’t much changed
pretty much the same
since I left home.
Yeah that war’s still on.
They found that little girl.
She was soaking wet,
half scared to death
on the side of some road.
Them prayers work, you know.
And the Bloods and Cripps are at it,
and theres a killer drought down south,
and old folks can’t afford the drugs
they can’t live with out.
God must be busy.
And I know in the big picture
I’m just a speck of sand
and God’s got better things to do
than look out for one man.
I know he’s heard my prayers
cause he hears everything,
he just ain’t answered back
or he’d bring you back to me.
God must be busy.
That anchorman,
says the fightings worse,
cities burn in the Middle East.
The world prays for peace”

Hello, thank you for printing the words to this remarkable song. This is a time in our lives we or I cannot put into words, however someone did. We listened to this sogn over and over in the car and we both cried, everytime, quietly, I wondered what he was thinking, feeling. I think God cries harder than we ever could, and he is busy, very busy. Thank you Brooks and Dunn,
