Do not make me a God

Prince Abbey

Do not make me a God
I beg of you, my dears
Ye that love me with hate
Lest, I forget my failings
But for a moment
And crown myself with empty clouds
I can hear it in the tone of your voice
I can tell by your piercing looks
I am neither omnipotent nor Almighty
I am neither a saint nor a hero
Please do not make me a God


Do not make me a God
I make mistakes you know
Yet you tell me of only how good I am
How priceless is my speech
How compelling are my thoughts
You flatter me to pretence
I am driving myself nuts trying to please you
And I always leave you feeling like a failure within
I cannot do it anymore
I will not hold back myself anymore
Please do not make me a God


Do not make me a God
Leave me to focus on my God
If you were to ask God
He could have shown you
His storehouses of grace and mercy
Against my many sins
Why provoke Him to jealousy
I owe you nothing my fellow man
I regard not your person
Why regard mine and exact the highest standards
Please…I beg you…
Do not make me a God
