My Favorite God

My favorite God’s the God of way out there,
of Big Bang symmetry, black holes, and chaos,
of light and fire, of water, clay and air,
of dark and day, of dawn and Buenos Dias.

And yet my favorite’s Him Who shapes my soul,
Who makes my will and mind so strong and smart,
Who drags me sinful to my sinless goal,
and sinks His loving soul deep in my heart.

Yet more my favorite God rescues a child,
so lone and lame he cannot run and play,
that’s often cried forlorn and seldom smiled,
Who’ll take him in His arms that joyful day.

The chaos, soul, and child, O Lord, is me,
and You, my favorite God, are mystery.
