God Marched Across The Water Poem by Mark Heathcote

God marched across the water
On a tsunami wave
He made the earth shake
God, he wasn't angry, he was mad.

And, he made the air vibrate
God, he wanted to drown the infidel
And send his soul straight to hell
But then there came an angel.

And, said the angel, Lord
Do you believe in evil?
Well now look at you
Drowning souls - two by two

Sweet Lord,
You're asking sinners to love you.
O what in mercies sake!
Are we going to do?

God took compassion - the wave
It dissipated back into its enclave.
But still, God looked grave
He was bitter full of rage.

But thankfully that angel knew
Just what to do
She spoke of the loaves and fishes
And those old stories of Andrew.

Sweet Lord,
You're asking sinners to love you.
O what in mercies sake
Are we going to do?

Lord, feed their mean spirits
To a sweet loves dissatisfaction - love for you.
Herald in those icy, trumpets
Show them what your real love can do.
