Fear of God

God for me provokes the fear of sin

Do I incur his wrath if commit a wrong

Like telling lies or being mean

The fear troubles me all along!

 

Is he watching all deeds of mine

Keeping notes in his divine diary

If I’m grumpy or genuinely benign

Would move him to decide the key!

 

If at the pearly gate awaits me heaven

Or god decides the key for hell

He would surely get with me even

If tilts my vice’s scale!

 

But I admit this fear has one good side

It instills some ponder and brood

If god’s eyes are really opened wide

For heaven’s sake should do some good!
