My God is a loving God
Not one of vengeance or wrath
But one who comes with arms open
And warms the heart with a loving laugh

My God helps me in so many ways
When things go wrong, I don’t question why
I just give in to faith ever renewing
And hold my hands up to the blessed sky

It may be blasphemy today
It may be wrong to say
It may be why I feel this way

My God is a loving God
Not one to cruelly destroy
But breathes life into me
When life is fully enjoyed

My God is the creator of me
And all that I am
A never ending story
To be read over and over again

It may be blasphemy today
My body offered up this way
Before my God I pray

and your God makes for a darn cool muse too *L*
love the message in this... and the empowerment..
I especially enjoyed the cadence..
and the imagery in that last verse aint half bad either *L*

Though my soul may sit in darkness,
It will arise in perfect light.
For I have loved the stars too fondly ...
To be fearful of the night.

AS a poet: I find this a lovely piece of work and is very creatively and wonderfully presented. You clearly are a talented writer.

As a Christian: God is a wrathful but merciful God. I feel that your classification of him as only a loving God is what is wrong with the world. We have lost our fear.

Interesting that I had a conversation not too long ago about the Old and New Testament....

He was so angered at us all for so long...

and then He gave His only Son...

what greater Love?
