Many are the Ways we Reach Him

We, well-versed in the Bible, know

of the great Triad – the Father,

Son, and Holy Ghost – all three

rolled up into one God,

“the one God,” we claim;

yet, we talk of their God,

a separate deity unlike ours,

so different and wrong, and we

argue our God versus theirs,

we who claim but “One”,

disavowing the existence of any other,

the ancient gods now laid to rest

or retired, their hold on us removed;

and we thump from the pulpits

His power and might, His love,

just as they do, picking up crosses

born of faith and our own righteousness,

and march forth, proclaiming and justifying

our sanctity and holiness;

sanctimonious -

for He is called by many names –

Abba, Father, Yahweh, al-Ala,

As-Salām, Allah, Jehovah, Elohim,

Adonai, YHVH, Brahman, Kami, Agu’gux,

Gitchi Manitou, Great Spirit, Maheo, Wakan Tanka,

Masaw, Raweno, Omuqkatus, Anguta, Airsekui, God

- and many are the ways we reach Him.
