Bilious and bloated, they gas God is gone."

Their words are poison gas,

Fouling the air; they poison rivers and skies;

Thistles are their cash crop.


God sticks His head out of the heaven.

He looks around.

He's looking for someone not stupid----

One man, even, God expectant,

Just one God-ready woman.


He comes up empty, a string of zeros.

Useless, unshepherded sheep, taking turns

Pretending to be Shepherd.

The ninty and the nine follow their fellow.


Don't they know anything, all these imposters?

Don't they know they can't get away with this ---

Treating people like a fast-food meal

Over which they're too busy to pray?


Night is coming

God, brilliant Lord, Yours is a household name.


Nursing infants gurgle choruses about You;

Toddlers shout the songs

That drown out enemy talk,

And silence atheist babble.


I looked up at Your macro-skies,  dark and enormous,

Your handmade sky-jewelry,

Moon and stars mounted in their settings.

Then I look at my macro-self and wonder,

Why do You bother with us?

Why take a second look our way?


Yet we've so narrowly missed being gods,

Bright with Eden's dawn light.

You put us in charge of Your handcrafted world,

Repeated to us Your genesis-charge,

Made us lords of sheep and cattle,

Even animals out tin

Why the big noise, nations?  Why the mean plots, peoples?

Earth-leaders push for position,

Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks,

The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers:

"Let's get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!"

Heaven- throned God breaks out laughing.

At first He's amused at their presumption;

Then He gets good and angry.

Furiously He shuts them up;

"Don't you know there's a King in Zion?  A coronation banquet

Is spread for Him on the holy summit."


Let me tell you what God said next.

He said, "You're my son,

And today is your birthday.

What do you want?  Name it:

Nations as a present?  Continents as a prize?

You can command them all

Do you-- both women and men imagine that you're

a sacred oracle determining what's right and wrong?

Do you think everything revolves around you?

If any one of you thinks God has something for you to

say or has inspired you to do something,

pay close attention to what I have written.

This is the way the Master wants it.

If you won't play by the rules, God can't use you.

Sorry.

Three things, then, to sum this up:  When you speak

forth God's truth, speak your heart out.  Don't tell people

how they should or shouldn't pray when they're praying

in tongues that you don't understand.

Be couteous and

Point me down Your highway, God;

direct me along a well lighted street;

show my enemies whose side You're on.

Don't throw me to the dogs,

those liars who are out to get me,

filling the air with their threats.


I'm sure now I'll see God's goodness

in the exuberant earth.

Stay with God!

Listen, God, I'm calling at the top of my lungs:

"Be good to to me! Answer me!"

When my heart whispered, "Seek God,"

my whole being replied,been right there for me;

"I'm seeking Him!"

Don't hide from me now!


You've always been there for me;

don't turn Your back on me now.

Don't throw me out, don't abandon

That's the only quiet, secret place

in a noisy world.

The perfect getaway,

far from the buzz of traffic.


God holds me head and shoulders

above all who try to pull me down.

I'm headed for His place to offer anthems

that will raise the roof!

already I'm singing God songs;

Light, space zest---- that's God!

So, with Him on my side I'm fearless,

afraid of no one and nothing.

 

When vandal hordes ride down

ready to eat me alive,

Those bullies and toughs

fall flat on their faces.

So, no matter what I say, what I do, what I believe, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.    Love cares more for others than for self.

Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.   Love doesn't strut,

Doesn't have a swelled head,  Doesn't force itself on others,

Isn't always "me first,"  Doesn't fly off the handle,

Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

Doesn't revel when others grovel,  Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

Puts up with anything,  Trusts

O my soul, bless God, don't forget a single blessing!

He forgived your sins every one.

He heals your diseases every one.

He redeems you from hell saves your life!

He crowns you with love and mercy a paradise crown.

He wraps you in goodness beauty eternal.

He renews your youth you're always young in His presence.

He is more than all I can imagine or expect
