God Is My Dad

I love my God, He is my Dad, I didn't know Him when I was a lad. Given a penny to take to church, Spent the penny left God in the lurch. Went through life doing no-one ill Still not doing the Masters will. Married had kids, all well and good, Still no church but knowing I should. Then came trouble, children rebelling, Bills through the door threats compelling. Future looks bleak, nowhere to turn, Heading for hell, I don't want to burn. Cried out to God, I need your help. Sorry for being an irreverent whelp. God answered my call as only He could, He said honour me, I said I would. My life turned around, got better each day, For the good things in life, I just pray. © Dave Timperley 2012
