God’s Side

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right. ~ Abraham Lincoln

It’s our fight, so we choose the team,
for surely nobody knows as well as we
the kind of team we need. We choose the best,
the strongest, the wisest, the winners
and it’s an honor to man our team.
So surely we choose our god, of course.
We want the best. And our god comes,
for he’s always there, but somehow
he fails to take orders, to do our bidding.

When we understand whose team it is,
what an honor to be chosen, we come willingly.
And then, the team structure as it rightly should be,
we’re on the winning side, the one we always wanted,
and peace and joy are as much a part of our reward
as the things we’d always sought from the team we chose.
For with the right leader, we’re always on the right side.
