Sixty

If someone were to steal my Bible,
If I were to be barred from church,
If those I share my God with were to leave me,
If the hymns were to be denied me,
If the God-inspired, man-wrought creeds were to vanish,

If all these deeply meaningful, but outside forces were to go,

Could God still get through to me?
Would I still see and feel my God?

My God, My God
Have mercy on me.
