Too Much God

O God of love, is there too much of You?
I know too much of anything is bad,
but being God, all things You say are true,
so too much truth and love can make me mad?
In truth, is it not just my love for sin
that lets me say there’s too much truth and love?
What makes this contradiction that I’m in
is I think from below, not from above.
Imagination’s lacking in me here,
I fail to see that God is everywhere,
that love and truth should not cause me to fear,
there can’t be too much God, the only there.
I stretch too much my freedom and my pride,
when from this “too much” God I try to hide.
