The Liar’s farce: that “God is far”
Give lie to this big lie
Refocus on “Immanuel”…
Who’s faithfully
And lovingly
Nearby
The Liar blares, “God doesn’t care”
Contest this wicked jest
Remember Him who wept much where…
They’d laid His friend
Named Lazarus
To rest
The Liar vents, “Your God’s against”
So “foul out” that foul creep
Discover Him Who’s always “for”…
Whose strength defends
And gently mends
His sheep
The Liar riles, “God never smiles”
Belie this common gaff
Recall the One Whom children loved…
Who liked to grin
To joke with kin
And laugh
The “father of fibs” can’t tell the truth (1)
His “native tongue” is lies
To learn who God is, look at Christ…
Who deftly beguiles
The beguiler’s wiles
And deafens
All his cries
**
(1) John 8:8
