Laughing at God

Hi all

As there are no Isaiah blog thoughst this week because we don't look at the next section of Isaiah this Sunday - let post this ...

This song by Regina Spektor is released this month. Some quite interesting lyrics

What do you think?

Look for them being quoted in a sermon near you..

No one laughs at God in a hospital

No one laughs at God in a war

No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor

No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests

No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late and their kid's not back

from that party yet

No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake

No one's laughing at God when they see the one they love hand in hand

with someone else and they hope that they're mistaken

No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and

they say "We've got some bad new, sir,"

No one's laughing at God when there's a famine, fire or flood

But God can be funny

At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or

Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red

in the head you think that they're about to choke

God can be funny

When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way

And when presented like a genie

Who does magic like Houdini

Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
