What it is
"Dear God" is a 1986 song by the English band XTC, written by Andy Partridge. It is framed as an agnostic's letter to God that questions His existence and grapples with belief, religion and the problem of suffering. A child, Jasmine Veillette, sings the first verse and closing line. Partridge drew on his own lifelong struggles with religion.
