God is not a franchise, that men should own Him;
batten down His hatches or tie His shoelaces for Him
out of the impromptu dust
He has fashioned all of us
from an unremitting Heart
when we order Him about
when we think of Him with doubt
when we think that we know best
how can we put Him to the test
who died for us and rose again
who had mended all our sin
into radiance within
surely He is the king over us
and not our slave.
we who are housed or unhoused
the breath of an hour without Him.
