Psst!

Be humble before God. Resist ol' Nick

(that thief,  who'd nick a lolly from a babe),
and he will flee from you! That's true - & quick(!) -
for your resistance puts him in the shade.

It uses time (till father walks back in),
& makes him re-al - ize  - he's running out...
And if you choose to walk, or make a din,
God will come close to you, without a doubt!

And whether you can see him there or not,
he'll give you what you need - show you the way.
He'll lead you into Truth (not into rot)
that's in your core, not just the words you say.

He'll help you to determine what is right,
& just & true & lovely, "for the best";
& then determine how to do (& fight
for) it, & so determine the tru-est

new world that you can think of  will come true,
by your determination (under God),
& this is all the best God has for you:
His children (baby gods), go where he trod!

That's not as lonely trackers  where he stepped,
who follow up a trail where he is not;
but with him, learning to keep as he kept
determinedly loving all this lot.

You, you are God who saves me, gives me hope,
& teaches me your 'khesed' (faithful love),
I'll run to you (my options don't help cope),
and live your life and wisdom "from above"!

Amen
