God on a Roll

When I’m depressed or bored, God’s on a roll,
if He’s not bored with me, why should I be?
God’s focused like a laser on my soul,
while I feel my ennui, He’s thrilled with me.

Maybe if I could focus on Him too,
His zillion stars, His thrilling universe,
not my small lie, but all His great works true,
to know God better does not make me worse.

God programmed me to love Him most of all,
not be wrapped up in me so I am bored,
not just be thrilled by going to the mall,
to waste God’s love is what I can’t afford.

Lord, when I bid my boring bouts be gone,
I’ll be so glad I rolled the roll You’re on.
