it ain't you...it ain't me

God

we all have one
we all believe in something
or we are none
or we are nothing

to some
it's money
more & more
milk & honey

to some
it's power
more & more
by the hour

to some
it's whiskey
more & more
but friend, that's risky

to some
it's our self
more & more
& nuthin' else

to some
it's our pride
more & more
we hide

to some
it's our ego
more & more
down that road we go

to some
it's another
more & more
an old lover
or a new
would that really do?

to some
it's a church
on that branch
we do perch

to some
it's tomorrow

to some
it's today's

to some
it' the yesterday's

but let me tell you
my friend,
from Beginnin' ta' End
no matter what you do
you nor i
are not the Reason Why.

There is only One GOD
and it ain't you
nor is it me
can you See?

what kinda' god
would we be?

money & honey
power by the hour
whiskey to drink
doin' what we think
old lovers & new
what would we do?

if we were god
we'd do what we would
we'd do what we could
but,
would we do what we should?

GOD ain't you
GOD ain't me
GOD ain't we
GOD just Be
who GOD Be!

GOD don't kill us
GOD don't cuss
GOD just Love's us
for who we be
you & me
can you see
Who GOD Be?

GOD IS GOD
just a 3-letter word
no money, no honey
no power, no hour
no whiskey nor sword

GOD IS GOD
HE IS HIS Word.

"I AM WHO I AM"

god-damn
that say's it All
winter, summer
spring & fall

4 seasons
4 reasons
to Trust
it is a Must
for us
that we ain't it ALL.

HE IS.
HE WAS.
HE WILL BE.
if only we See.

it ain't you
& it ain't me.!
