Notes About The Poem

Brian Johnston

Owning God

Don't worship the mechanical, 
Be sure to make the rules your friend, 
Bend them, look for hidden meanings, 
Consider that they're not the end.

Your God will not be offended
Will not disown you as His Child, 
Always find you entertaining, 
Embraces any path that's mild.

Mildness is a form of humor, 
Rule bending is a kind of mirth, 
Does not reject or condescend, 
With playful joy it fills the earth.

Your God, HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY, 
With awesome pow'r mistakes to mend, 
Do not see Him just as parent, 
And love most that He is your friend.

His correction always knowledge, 
Embrace it for it is God's Heart, 
You are meant to use your talents, 
Testing your truth is only smart! 

Look for your God in starlit heav'ns, 
But play with Him on sandy beach, 
Omnipresence your assurance, 
His love is never out of reach.
