HOW GOOD IT IS THAT GOD ABOVE
HAS NEVER GONE ON STRIKE,
BECAUSE HE WAS NOT TREATED FAIR
IN THINGS HE DIDN'T LIKE.
IF ONLY ONCE HE'D GIVEN UP AND SAID,
"THAT'S IT; I'M THROUGH! I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THOSE ON EARTH, SO THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO:
I'LL GIVE MY ORDERS TO THE SUN--" CUT OFF
THE HEAT SUPPLY! AND TO THE MOON---GIVE
NO MORE LIGHT, AND RUN THE OCEANS DRY."
THEN JUST TO MAKE THINGS REALLY TOUGH
AND PUT THE PRESSURE ON : "TURN OFF THE VITAL
OXYGEN TILL EVERY BREATH IS GONE!"
YOU KNOW, HE WOULD BE JUSTIFIED, IF
FAIRNESS WAS THE GAME, FOR NO ONE HAS
BEEN MORE ABUSED OR MET WITH MORE DISDAIN
THAN GOD: AND YET HE CARRIES ON , SUPPLYING
YOU AND ME WITH ALL THE FAVOR OF HIS GRACE;
AND EVERYTHING FOR FREE.
MEN SAY THEY WANT A BETTER DEAL AND SO
ON STRIKE THEY GO ,BUT WHAT A DEAL WE'VE
GIVEN GOD TO WHOM ALL THINGS WE OWE.
WE DON'T CARE WHOM WE HURT TO GAIN THE
THINGS WE LIKE; BUT WHAT A MESS WE'D ALL BE
IN, IF GOD SHOULD GO ON STRIKE.
