chaining God
with our own vision
adding our limits
the weights we carry
the limits of our flesh
onto Almighty God
we may not have the strength
the power within our bodies
but God has more than enough
the Creator of the universe
why do we do this
limit our vision
adding our limits
the weights we carry
as if eternal God
is bound by our flesh
not understanding, no
ability
to comprehend the enormity
of God
not bound, not chained by
our limits
God all powerful, over all
