G‑d is not an object
We have lost in buried Earth;
He rather is a journey
To find our greatest worth.
We are all, yet we are one
Singular in who we be.
Unique in what we have to do
True to all we see.
We are flawed and need to leave
The lies we live with by the day.
And hear instead the voice of G‑d
To gain our piece of Paradise.
G‑d is not a metaphor,
A construct made by men.
But a being who has desire
To build a place for them.
God’s plan was to make with man
Partners in His world.
Someone to direct the way
They could act as friends.
But hubris is the flaw of man
Who think that they should rule.
To take from others what they want
And distribute out the rest.
But G‑d has very different plans;
It’s not to rule the weak,
But to strengthen those He meets.
To weave their strength
With others’ strengths
To make us better men.
Man must know
Might comes from G‑d.
If only they believed.
To lose our faith in the divine
Will only make us fail.
This prophecy comes from the voice
G‑d has left behind.
But to make those changes faith demands
Takes numbers more than one
So each man must find other souls
Whose life will round out His.
With virtue lacking in his own
He needs to find another one
Which helps make him more.
His hubris makes him want to rule
With eyes devoid of truth
So G‑d gave to him but little power
With failures net result.
To have the future change for good
We need to change ourselves;
Change must start with who we are,
Not beyond the stars.
In Eden by idyllic brooks
G‑d made a place of peace
When all was quiet
Nothing changed
And choices were constrained,
But knowing that this
Would bring on greed,
G‑d willed another way.
G‑d became a river,
Flowing through our lives,
Exposing both the good and bad
Allowing us to modify,
To alter futures we might have,
So in the end our world could change
From dark to happy days.
We are all, yet we are one
Unique in what we have to do
True to all that we’ve become.
I weave my soul with you.
Perhaps in this, from our debris,
We’ll find a better way.
Find your way to clear blue skies
To start a journey new
Where all is fresh
And we can change in ways
That G‑d might choose.
To help our fellow men
To lead beyond themselves
To create a better land.
To fill our destinies,
In helping those around.
To live in gratitude
To discover what I need to know
So all of us will our lives
In song and harmony.
With each to add
To all our strengths
With each to add to love
And with each act of kindness
To bring Heaven from above.
