New Song: God Plays Hide and Seek

One of the integral aspects of our humanity is our search for meaning and purpose.  To know God is to understand that our lives are not inconsequential or accidental.  Finding God is often a complicated and frustrating proposition.  This song is a reflection of that search.


God Plays Hide and Seek

God plays hide and seek
Leaving trails of crumbs for us to find
With twists and turns along a crooked road that winds 
Among the valleys and the peaks 
God plays hide and seek

God plays hard to get
With feigned indifference to our daily toil 
Like a pot-  you watch it, but it never boils 
Like a sideways silhouette 
God plays hard to get

But even when you're  halfway thru the race 
And you find yourself in hot pursuit 
Take some time and think about the chase 
It's not the finish line you seek- it's each step along the route 

God plays fast and loose
The rules change daily at a moment's whim 
There's no devotion, prayer, or ancient hymn 
To bring about a truce 
When God plays fast and loose
