You gave me a universe, but I count myself poor. You gave me the human race; but I’m lonely. You gave me Shakespeare; but I’m jealous of his talent; You gave me all you have; but I feel deprived. You gave me all the energies swerling in the heavens; but I’m tired. You gave me life; but I’m preoccupied with death. You hung on a cross for me;       but all my mistakes were well-intentioned. Why have you done so much for me when you didn’t have to? In my heart I know         that your love surpasses everything. If I dive into to the depths of myself You are there, waiting for me. I can’t understand your love. It is so forgiving, so absolute. There’s nothing like it in the world I’m used to. Your love violates everything I know.

To God
You gave me a universe, but I count myself poor. You gave me the human race; but I’m lonely. You gave me Shakespeare; but I’m jealous of his talent; You gave me all you have; but I feel deprived. You gave me all the energies swerling in the heavens; but I’m tired. You gave me life; but I’m preoccupied with death. You hung on a cross for me;       but all my mistakes were well-intentioned. Why have you done so much for me when you didn’t have to? In my heart I know         that your love surpasses everything. If I dive into to the depths of myself You are there, waiting for me. I can’t understand your love. It is so forgiving, so absolute. There’s nothing like it in the world I’m used to. Your love violates everything I know.
