Two Sides God

The God Outside created everything,
the God Inside lives only in my soul,
the first rules all Creation as a King,
the second lives a humble servant role.

How great the mighty God Outside must be,
yet all His works will someday fade away,
how mightier still’s the God Inside of me,
His handiwork--my soul--will ever stay.

The universe was never meant to last,
it’s only made for humans to behold,
for everything will end up in the past,
we who forever live will not grow old.

O God Outside, You serve the God within,
for love can only live beneath my skin.
