On Cue

On cue God his purpose is elusive What is actually his role? In our lives and in our planning What good is worship as a whole? Don’t we long for independence? Why would this start up a fuss? Why should we give God the power To decide what’s right for us? We don’t want to be directed Why wait for his sign and cue? We could use him as co-pilot…? That’s the least that we can do Mind you, we will give the orders We’ll do exactly as we feel And when it gets a little tricky We might scream ’Jesus take the wheel!’ This doesn’t mean that we are cowards No, it means we have a choice For in a fair collaboration Every partner has a voice Equal say and equal privilege And we claim it, it’s our right But we want God to be ready To find a cure for every plight Until then, he should be quiet He should utter not a word We’ll appreciate his presence Even more if he’s not heard As we brazenly continue See us veer and see us swerve As our silenced fellow traveler Waits for his cue to come and serve.
