From Dialogues & Monologues with God
LEADING ROLE: GOD
SUPPORTING ROLE: ME
ME
Good morning, God, and how are you?
Have You had a peaceful night?
Have all Your dreamy dreams come true?
Are You watching from on high?
What about that prayer I prayed,
at Your cross I cried,
the one to help You change the world
and shine Your shiny Light?
For in my own backyard I see
deception, hate, and lies,
roaring lions, lukewarm sweet tea
and southern compromise.
And when I turn the TV on
I see rockets in the sky,
and floods, and fire, and war, war, war,
and human shields, oh, my!
Now, I have not the resume
one would require, even so,
approve me, use me, scoot me off,
broken places I will go.
Once a child so small was I,
my foolish days you know.
But, I have had enough of milk
with You, I grow, I grow!
So, in Your classroom, Lord, I sit,
tip, tipping off my seat
with oooh, oooh, oooh's, and hands raised high,
pick me, pick me, pick, me!
