                      God the Other Thing

God punish England,
God save the King,
God this, God that,
God the other thing.

God save America,
God flatten Iraq,
God this, God that,
God, be at my back.

God grant us mercy,
God grant us peace,
God grant us this and that,
God make the war cease.

"Good God", said God,
"I'm a Man of peace!
You're My creation, lump of clod,
But your petitions never cease!

I always listen to you, little one,
But listen to My Words,
Always listen to My beloved Son,
Put aside your vicious swords!

Pay attention to the poet's words."
God gave us love, God made us free,
God's words of love are God's righteous swords.
God said, "Hear, hear!  My peace follows Me."

God said, "Love your neighbor."
God said, "Love your God."
God said, "I did you a favor,"
For on the Cross died our God.

"God, my Son, gave you life, for I am your God.
God, my Son, rose from death, for I am your God.
You were sick, I gave you health, for I am your God.
You were dead, I gave you life, for I am your God.

Keep the petitions rolling, for I am your God,
But pay attention to My Words, for I am your God.
Love Me, love your neighbor, for I am your God.
I did you a favor for My Own sake, for I am your God."
