Lord, I said
I’ve done so much
for this church,
I’m burnt out.
I haven’t reached
that stage yet, God said.
Lord, I said
How can you understand
this crazy world?
I create best
out of chaos, God said.
Lord, I said
What could one person
like me do
to feed the hungry?
One person like Moses
led my people out of Egypt, God said.
Lord, I said,
I don’t always like
what the church does.
Nor do I always like
what you do, God said,
But I continue to love you.
Lord, I said
Don’t you know the people
in this church
are a bunch of hypocrites?
I’ll start by forgiving you, God said.
Lord, I said
The preacher
demands too much from us.
Wait till I tell you
what I have in mind, God said.
Lord, I said,
10% of what I’ve earned
is too much to ask.
What % of what I’ve given you
would be all right, God said.
Well you get the idea. Have fun.
