The Greatest One
God I want to write a Father’s Day poem for you
You are the most loving God ever
Even though You are the only God in my book
You do things no one will ever know
Just when we think we know you
You do something different
Just when we think we are at the end of our rope
We realize that you are the One who is doing it all along
You cause it and have it serve to your purpose
God when we think we are having the wrong end of the stick
You prove us wrong and the result is more than we expected
Why do You do things like that?
Why can’t it straight be straight
So we can clearly see?
Instead you put us through loops
Windy roads and turns
Only to lead us to where we want the most and more
God - oh you are so amazing
That only after you prove it to us
Can we actually smile and sing praises
Lord will we ever learn?
You said time after time to trust you
But Lord it is so hard to trust you
When we don’t see the results at that minute
We huff and puff
All the while you are so patient with us
Just one word from you - change everything
And you proved that – over and over
Lord you always do things for the better
And do we remember that?
No – definitely no
You always take us
Glory to glory
And not going backward
Hallelujah God
When you are about to do something
You always let us have a glimpse of it
To see what it is that it is heading our way
You are amazing God
You give gifts at your own time
And whatever you want to give
You hand out lesson plans
So sweetly end with needed accomplishments
That is you Lord
Never rest – always carry us through
But do we appreciate you?
We kick and scream
Not knowing when the end of the tunnel is
We are blinded by the rugged terrains
Can’t even see where they are leading us
But always to the end you show us
What we do get for the unwanted trouble
Are you always up to something God?
Aha, yes, You are
You are going to the next lesson plan already
But always to the great fruit
Sowing to us
If only we can hold on to our eagerness
To have it right now
Ahh you are not going to do that, are you?
Always a surprise
Yes that’s You
Unknowing, blinded, uncertain
That is what You want for us
You want us to trust in you
That You are the only One in the name of the game
Guide us Lord
Never let us falter and lose faith
Carry us through if need be
But always to the next level
You never leave us behind
Hooray to You Lord
The Absolute Being
Yahweh
The Universal Life Force
To Whom draws all of us
Yes God
Take us there
Beyond our limited vision
To the higher places
To the grandest scenery
Love you Lord
Happy Father’s Day
Yours and yours always
Your undeserving, ungrateful, unlovable
Multitude
All counting on You
Yes Papa
