some imagine God
with a hand on the buzzer
holding the handle
to a trap door
this is not our God
who sent us Jesus
who suffered and died
to give us new life
some imagine God
gleeful in judgment
ever ready
to punish His children
this is not God
who loved us into creation
who sent His Spirit
to walk here with us
