God's False Divide

There are two Gods, although They’re both the same,
the God out there, and then the God in here,
They both go by the same most Holy Name,
one God is far, the other God is near.

One God’s transcendent, thus too far away,
the other’s immanent, and so close by--
the human Christ we call on night and day,
while God Creator seems beyond the sky.

One’s in the Old Book, and one’s in the New,
a false divide, since both are everywhere,
the Trinity--we should give each His due,
divinity--each has an equal share.

Three in One, far or near, a mystery,
one, two or three, You are, Lord, dear to me.
