Hey God
Hey God, you’re an awesome guy,
As you watch over us from the sky,
We know and honor you from afar,
The brightest celestial shining star
But what if you were one of us,
A mere stranger on the bus,
You would give yourself away,
Be it on any day,
By your surrounding blinding light,
Which has such intense might,
Just a visit one might say,
It would be a short stay,
So short that as soon as you appear.
You shortly thereafter disappear,
Taking the staircase to your home in heaven,
One, two, three, four five six, seven,
Realizing you have got to reset us,
A new start we need, you are all-forgiving,
Ever-lasting, ever-present, ever-seeing,
God, we know you want us to change
Throw our drugs and evil politicians away
Creep out of our self-destructing path,
For right now destruction you can only see
And Sheer chaos in its aftermath!
I used two lines from the song, not identical though ‘One of Us’ by Joan Osborne.
