God sat upon his throne
In the presence of the
chosen
All was well in
paradise
It was a special day
in heaven
There was a quiet
mutter abroad
And the flutter of
Angels wings
Before a silent hush
descended
And the heavenly
chorus sings

GOD SAT UPON HIS THRONE
GOD IS ON THE WEB
God is on the Web waiting for your prayer
You can easily find
Him if you look around
There is no video
link, Skype or live chat
But if you have faith
it will be profound
Of course if an
atheist was to click the link
It would respond with “Page
not found”
WITHIN THE SILENT ECHO
Within the silent echo
Of the last rites
As the last words of
life
Reluctantly give way
To the first words of death
God reaches out his hand
And you alluringly
ascend
On comforting wings
