Between God and Man

Seers and sages have come and gone You are to be compared to none You are not bounded by time and space You are not affected by chance You’ve stayed for eons of years Sleep and slumber affects not your eyes Who are we to tell your age? Individuals only pray you turn to their page To us, day and night passes To you they are endless You make all the decisions For all the nations Ours is only to choose For we have no time to lose. When it’s time to gather in your presence, To savour ourselves in your glorious essence We are always found wanting And each time we come along panting For your ways are holy We are imperfect, empty and unholy Like a drop of water in the ocean That cannot stir or cause commotion. There's only one conclusion: Our lives is in your hand; Without you, men are but mere illusion, Blind and being led by the hand.
