I Have All Along Been God’s Flute
I have all along been God’s flute.
I have charmed the world,
But that is not enough.
From now on, I shall be God’s football,
Him to please in His own way.
This is the way I can become
A choice instrument of God
To feed His earth’s cry and Heaven’s smile
All at once.
