only god left me

My daddy left me when I was a kid.
My first love left me when she heard what Jesus did.
My best friend left me when I cursed him to his face.
My heart left me, it left without a trace.

But only god left me when god became myself.

My Jesus never left me when I told him "go away."
He said to me, "Son, you know I'm here to stay."
My Savior never left me when sin dripped off my hands,
He washed me clean sayin', "Boy, you'll see the promised land."

But only god left me when god became myself.

(This was inspired by a picture by Shannon Culkeen)

Though I'm flattered by you attributing "only God left me" to me, It's actually an image by Sam Brown, of www.explodingdog.com. I love the poem, though. Read my blog, now that I've got one.
