angry god.

angry god
blotting out all light from the world

give us the sun, o deity

forgive us, father, for we know not what
   we have done.

angry god
ripping the fabric of the sky into so many tiny pieces
   that our finite minds cannot comprehend

give us the stars, o deity

be merciful unto us, o god,
   according to thy lovingkindness

angry god
churning the waves into a boiling frenzy

give us the sea, o deity

according to your great compassion,
   blot out our sin

angry god
breezing through our world yet beyond our mortal sight

give us the wind, o deity

remember, lord, your great mercy and love,
   for they are of old

angry god
do not treat us as we deserve

you are compassionate and gracious,
   slow to anger,
   abounding in love.
