what god

What God has sent us
is not a pestilence or plague, 
is not the water rushing in like a wall.

What God has sent us
is not a pestilence or plague, 
is not the water rushing in like a wall.

What God has sent us
is nothing,
nothing at all.

What God has sent us
is not swarms of biting insects,
is not a plague of vile things that crawl.

What God has sent us
is not swarms of biting insects,
is not a plague of vile things that crawl.

What God has sent us
is nothing,
nothing at all.

Dear God. if you must,
even send us your agony,
take from us the first child we bare.

But dear God, have mercy,
if we share in your agony,  
make it a clear sign you are there.

What God has sent us
is not the worm in the garden,
is not the temptation and the fall.

What God has sent us
is not the worm in the garden, 
is not the temptation and the fall.

What God has sent us
is nothing,
nothing at all.


Dear God. if you must,
even send us your agony,
take from us the first child we bare.

But dear God, have mercy;
if we share in your agony,  
make it a clear sign you are there.
