Dim Disconnect

God made me yet I wonder who I am,
Christ saved me but I wonder why I’m here,
the Holy Spirit tends me like a lamb,
lonely and scared, I do not sense Them near.

God knows me so, He knows me more than I do,
Christ loves me so, He proved it when He died,
the Spirit helps me when I may not try to,
They love me though Their law I have defied.

They teach me yet it’s like I never learn,
I hate it when my conduct They correct,
a spark, a smoldering wick They will not spurn,
O Trinity, why such a disconnect?

Some people, Lord, dimwitted to the core,
need a good whacking with a two-by-four.
