Analysis of God gives the Monologue. Now listen.
Again you have
Shut down other signals
This is good
As I have a word or two:
I delight in you
No this is not impossible
I delight in you
Not because of do-gooder stuff
Many others go that route
And are duplicitous.
You are my child
Plain and simple
A Father looks
At the ups and downs
And smiles.
And you have sensed the smile
And you need it.
Seeking me
Through my Son's story
You are rewarded.
Your Elder Brother
Inspires confidence
Family likeness grows
Through time, tending
And absorption.
The signal grows strong
As you step into
Singleness of purpose.
That's the mustard-seed message
Remember?
My Son told it
Have faith, Church
Like that mustard-seed
Small but undivided
Uncompromised
Unmixed
Hearing again and again
One of my words of promise
And stepping forward on it.
Where you are
Where you can speak
Or where you can uplift.
To me that's just
Like a home run
Child.
It moves mountains
And I get the glory.
