I
If it's a question of how you seek God,
or how you like to treat God,
it's your attitude that matters the most.
God can't be neglected
or left in the back of your mind.
No rather, God is living
and ever-present, you'll find.
He's not up in third heaven,
with nothing to do.
He is always there watching;
He sees what everyone does,
He sees everyone's heart,
each word, each deed,
how they each play their part
and treat God.
Whether or not you give yourself to God,
your thoughts and actions
are known to Him.
God is righteous towards everyone.
Man's conquest and salvation,
it's something that matters to Him.
He's serious towards everyone,
never treats them as pets
or a game to be won.
II
God's love is not the spoiling kind.
His mercy is not indulgent, you'll find.
He cherishes and respects all life.
His mercy and tolerance
carry expectation.
They are what humanity needs to survive.
God is alive, God truly exists.
His attitude towards man is principled.
It's flexible towards man's change.
His heart transforms with time,
circumstance and attitude of each person.
God is righteous towards everyone.
Man's conquest and salvation,
it's something that matters to Him.
He's serious towards everyone,
never treats them as pets
or a game to be won.
III
Listen, don't be the baby
held by God so tenderly.
If you feel He will dote on you
as if He could never leave you
regardless of your attitude,
then you should quit dreaming and soon.
You should be crystal clear that
God's substance, it won't change.
But His disposition issues forth
at different times,
and in different contexts.
No rather, God is living
and ever-present, you'll find.
Through your behaviors,
through your attitude towards God,
His opinion and attitude to you
keep on changing.
God is righteous towards everyone.
Man's conquest and salvation,
it's something that matters to Him.
He's serious towards everyone,
never treats them as pets
or a game to be won.
