Where's Me God? On The Light-shade!!!


Now every time I need a word, with my God about my plight!
It's always in my bedroom, in the darkest hours of night!
So this night I said my prayers, and started to bless myself true,
And gave a little giggle, over what it is I do!
I say; ‘God, are you up there tonight? Cos I need a word or two!
And I know that you are busy, but I'm waiting as I usually do!'
Then I looked up to the ceiling, to the light-shade hanging down!
And said to God, while laughing! ‘God, are you ever coming down?'
You see, we have these chats all the time, but this time I laughed all night!
Cos as I looked up to the ceiling, I got a flippin' fright!
So I looked to the light-shade, and said; ‘God, everyone's gona think I'm mad!
Cos I'm talking to a light-shade! Now isn't that just sad!'

For in my minds eye, I have to say; God's sitting up there looking at me,
Peeping over the light-shade! As giggly as can be!
Then I thought I saw a flash of light, and near fell outa my bed!
Cos I thought I saw Him peeping, but it was only a shadow instead!
Then I heard a giggle from Him, and he said; ‘Catherine, you are mad!
Thinking I'm inside the light-shade! Now what a silly thought you had!'
‘But God,' I said while laughing! ‘I know that I'm mad just lately!
And after all, it aint my fault! Cos that's they way you made me!
I mean to say, I focus there, I do, every single night!
And one day I'm sure you'll peep over! And I will die of fright!'
So when I want to chat with me God! I still look to the ceiling above!
And stare that light-shade out! As I offer up my love!

And now each night as I start to pray, I shout out; God, are ye there tonight?
And if you are, don't scare me! Cos I don't wana die of fright!
And if you think I'm stupid, for focusing on my light,
Its cos that's where I imagine you, in my bedroom in the dark of night!'
‘Catherine!!'  I heard Him bellow! ‘I think that this is great!
Talking to me in the light-shade! I'm laughing myself into a state!'
‘Well thank you very much for that!' I laughed back to my God!
And thanked him for my chat again! Cos He's still a very busy bod!
And yep, I still look to the light-shade, as I start to say my prayers,
And ask for the blessings for everyone, and tell Him of my fears!
And yep, He always listens, even when I don't see Him about!
But I know within my heart so true, He will always help me out!

As long as He don't fall outa the light-shade!
