How Does God Spend His Day?

Good morning, my child!
Hast thou slept well?
I've created this day for thee,
and so many others as well.

Yes, it's going to be sunny,
I thought you'd like it this way.
Yes, I know you've planned a full day,
but I'd like to help you today.
(Oh, wouldn't you just love to see
what I am hoping your day would be?)

That's okay, my child,
I know how busy you are.
Perhaps, we'll talk later
when you're in your car...

Did you like the bouquet
of flowers I sent you?
Aren't they your favorites?
(Oh, did I offend you? )

Yes, I see your problems.
Do you know what I'd do?
No! Not that, my child,
it's going to harm you!
(Oh, if you only could see,
what I already have done for thee!)

Where are you going now, my child?
Do you realize I'm in your car?
(Oh, can't you hear me whispering to thee?
Your mind seems so afar.... )

Please be alert, my child,
there's danger ahead -
(Oh, I had better just remove it
for you instead.... )

Ah, child, that's okay,
you don't have to thank me now;
My care for you is my pleasure
and I'd do it anyhow!

My child, what are these things
thou art looking upon over here?
Don't you know that's what
causes you to have fear?
Why not instead look upon
what is lovely and true?
They'd thrill you beyond
anything you ever knew!
(Oh, if thou wouldst only look upon me,
I could give thee so many better things to see!)

Well, if they make thee happy,
then go ahead, my precious one;
I know someday you'll see
they weren't that much fun.

Oh, be careful, my child,
that one means you harm!
(Oh, how can I let you see my alarm?)

I've sent you a Letter,
that you haven't yet read,
yet I see you reading
so many other books instead.
(Oh, how can I make thee understand,
I'm right here, holding thy hand?)

Please listen to me, my child,
I am so near.
Hasn't anyone told you
I'm living right here?
Of course, they have,
just the other day,
Yet, you wouldn't believe
the things they tried to say.

That's okay, my child,
I love you still,
And I promised I'd never intrude
on thine own free will.
When thou art ready,
I'll be waiting for thee.
(Oh, won't you just once, today,
look up to me?)

Well, I'm happy, my child,
you've arrived safely home.
Now, why don't we talk
while you have time alone?
(Oh, please don't pick up that phone!)

That's okay, my child,
I'll wait 'till you're done.
Maybe after this call,
to me you will come?

Now what are you doing?
I see you've made another choice
to turn on the radio,
rather than listen to my still small Voice.
That's okay, my child,
I know you don't see,
but I'll be right here
when you turn towards me!

Oh, the day is just passing
and we still haven't talked,
though I've waited patiently,
and I've tread where you've walked.
I'm longing to tell thee so much
to ease thy days,
but you never acknowledge
any of my ways.

Perhaps, I'll paint you
a lovely picture in the sky!
Would you notice my sunset
as the night draws nigh?
What if I gave thee a bright shining moon?
Could I then expect to hear from you soon?
How many stars
should I send out tonight?
Would they attract your attention
to my love for you tonight?
(Oh, what more could I do,
to tell you of my love for you!)

I gave thee a daughter and a son
to let you feel love.
(Oh, why can't you feel my love from above?)

I watch as you tenderly
tuck them in bed,
And I groan that you don't see me
in that love instead.

I gave thee my life
and all I could give,
So you, my child,
with me would live.
Yet, you run from me,
and don't want to understand
why all these things
have happened in your land.
You blame me for evil
and death and pain,
yet, you've never given me
a chance to explain.
If only you knew
why it must be this way,
you'd see that time
is soon passing away.
(Oh, I've so many things to say to you,
but you won't accept that my Word is true!)

That's okay, my child,
one day . . . you will.
For though you don't know me,
I love you still.

Go, sleep now, my child,
you need your rest.
Maybe tomorrow you'll see
I've given you my best.

Sweet dreams, my child....
(Oh, how I wish you'd once say,
"Jesus, are you really there?
Will you show me your way?")

Sleep on, my child,
I'll be right hear,
Perhaps, tomorrow,
you'll let me come near....

The darkness I spread
as a blanket upon thee.
Sleep on,
for maybe tomorrow,
my love, you will see....
