God Person

O God, it's true You are a Person too,
a friend Who loves me, and Who I love back;
we stick together, You and I, like glue,
and help each other under an attack.
In many ways You are the same as I,
like You, I love, and just like me, You care,
through thick and thin alike we laugh and cry,
in common my experience we share.
Friends, comrades, buddies, pals, so close we are,
yet smarter than me--like You read my mind,
though Your revealed Word isn't very far,
and I can feel Your heartfelt love so kind.
In Eucharist I do meet all of You,
and I hope soon we'll meet in person too.
