PSALM OF TIME

PSALM OF TIME

1. Do we expect you to fit our ideas:

are we really cleverer than God?

2. You've got to be greater than us or we cannot worship you:

would you be so badly damaged if I decided not to?

3. I need you to be my God, so keep on surprising me:

you convert me so often I've lost count of the reasons.

4. When new things are learned by science, there are you:

you're watching over your world,

as we struggle to catch up.

5. if the universe began with a bang, then you were in it:

if the new is emerging now, you are there also.

6. Our theories can make no difference to you:

for you aren't another theory, you are our God.

7. We don't need to look for solutions that fit in with you:

whatever is unexplored, you perceive already.

8. Amid the wonders around me how small am I:

what's a mere irritation in my life

compared with your universe?
