"London, 1802"
Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart;
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life's common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.

God (Take One)God said to me “Gonna kick your but- ‘cos all you do is ask ask askAll that energy looking for me when I’m sitting here inside you - plain to seeHow I built you cell for cell gave you sights to see - gave you tales to tellEven let you help yourself for a while - to take some weight off this busy child” I said to God “1 found you out I know what this world is all about!”God said “Stop - don’t scramble your brain - my opponent’s been messing you around againSee him and me are enemies and we play little games for galaxiesAnd he’s inside you - ‘n I am too so here we are - just the three of you” “Oh we made mistakes - too many cards - but making human beings can be hardA God gets tired of playing so much chess - he wishes his God would get him out of his mess”I said to God “What’s it like to die” He said “It’s as plain as the sea and skyConception was him and me and you - when your batteries fade we all just move on” I said to God “Who’s winning this game - is the devil in front” He said “Is that his nameYou know I’ve been so busy I never asked - I never looked up from this awesome task”I said to God “What’s good ‘n bad” He said “It’s just something you’ve got to haveIt don’t mean nothing to us up here - but your primitive people - you gotta have fear” I said to God “Do I think for myself’ He said I told you once you just help yourselfDon’t forget you’re composed of three, your thinking comes from him and me”I said to God “How big are you, is there a religion - is it trueHow big’s the universe - is time - the same for you as my life is to mine” God said “If all the things that made worlds float - were all to part - then you would note The size of him and the size of me - and that’s how big we both shall be”He said “The universe is small - just like some fortune-teller’s ballAnd we both sit down - and we play the game - when somebody wins it all starts again” “There’s no religion - you did that - it helps to keep your little leaders fatLike faith ‘n superstition stay - to help you pass the time awayBut when you talk of time and life - it makes me think of circles, heightsExpansion is the clue - your dreams - are nearer than you’ve ever been” “You see my little toy to think - is from two bowls of wine to drinkDon’t take too much or you may drown - behave yourself - see you around...” by Ian Hunter...from an album entitled "All-American Alien Boy" (1976)http://www.angelfire.com/or3/tss2/godsongs.html#gto

cry Out To Jesus - Third DayGenre/Lang. : Christian To everyone who's lost someone they love Long before it was their time You feel like the days you had were not enough when you said goodbye And to all of the people with burdens and pains Keeping you back from your life You believe that there's nothing and there is no one Who can make it right There is hope for the helpless Rest for the weary Love for the broken heart There is grace and forgiveness Mercy and healing He'll meet you wherever you are Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on They lost all of their faith in love They've done all they can to make it right again Still it's not enough For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains You try to give up but you come back again Just remember that you're not alone in your shame And your suffering When your lonely And it feels like the whole world is falling on you You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus Cry to Jesus To the widow who suffers with being alone Wiping the tears from her eyes For the children around the world without a home Say a prayer tonight

Dear God
by XTC
from the LP "Skylarking"

Dear God, hope you got the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from
God
I can't believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about
God
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease
and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear God don't know if you've noticed but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing this junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in

I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve

If there's one thing I don't believe in
It's you
Dear God

epitaha

Here lies Mark Espinoza 1993-?
Wish you all knew how great it is to be here
where I am with are god
at the highest point of them all
I guess it was my turn to be with god.

    Are You There God
    © By Margaret L. GutierrezAre you there god?I wonder if you're there God and if you can hear me, I wonder if you're there God because I can not see.God I wonder if your listening and if you can even hear, God I wonder if you can comfort me and wipe away my tears.I wonder if you're there God because I need you right now,I don't know what to say or ask you and I don't know how.I need your light to shine on me and constantly show the way,Well, if you look at it God, I need you each and every day.I wonder if you're up there ,and if you even care.I wonder if you know that I'm not doing really well,I wonder if you know that I'm on my way to hell.I wonder if you know that I have fallen down ,And I wonder if you know I'm waiting for you to come around.God I wonder if you know that I'm not worth your time,and I wonder if you know that you can call me "mine."I wonder if you realize that I'm not whole insideand if you can find me when I run and hide.I wonder if you know what is inside my head,and if I'm going to be famous before I am dead.I wonder if you're there God, but I think I already know,That you are always there even if I don't even care or show.

What is God? God is love and so god is all But what is love? something we cant live without Love comes and never leaves Like our one and only God in the highest Who is God? We are all God in one body For God works through each and everyone of us Through one of us he uses our lips and so the words of our God are spoken What part of our God are you?
