What God is Not

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
Our God is never lazy nor
Does He take breaks from work.
His blessings are worth waiting for.
His "duties" He won't shirk.

He's not a spare when dreams go flat
He's not a backup plan!
Don't ask in doubt for this or that;
Try hard to understand

His qualities that Jesus showed
Are what you need to learn
About our God the Bible told
To those who have concern!
