			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Terry Taylor is my favorite songwriter. Everything he writes makes me think and wonder and laugh. The music is as original and unconventional as the poetry. Because so much of his work touches on the Creator-Creation or God-World relationship, I plan on posting his lyrics here occasionally. I hope he doesn&#8217;t mind. I figure he&#8217;ll appreciate the recommendation.</p>
<p>Please visit the website of one of his bands (Daniel Amos, Lost Dogs, Swirling Eddies) and buy the music. Here are the words to the amazing &#8220;God Went Bowling&#8221;:</p>
<h3>God Went Bowling</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.danielamos.com/" target="_blank">Terry Taylor (http://www.danielamos.com)</a><br />
(c)1988 Broken Songs<br />
from the Swirling Eddies album &#8220;Zoom Daddy&#8221;</p>
<p>God went bowling<br />
got the ball rolling<br />
suspends it in air<br />
to strike, split, and spare<br />
while the king pin is falling<br />
as part of his calling<br />
makes some of us crack<br />
in the gutter and the rack</p>
<p>and then God made a barrel<br />
out of slings and arrows<br />
and filled it up high<br />
with the apples of his eye<br />
now the grub worm is snacking<br />
on all we are lacking<br />
aiming his shots<br />
at the cores that he rots</p>
<p>in the fracas and filth<br />
in the fire and the flood<br />
in the trash and the tumors<br />
the rash, and the rub<br />
all us tag team wrestlers<br />
get stuck in the mud<br />
and wrestle against<br />
not the flesh or the blood</p>
<p>God set a table<br />
for the blind and disabled<br />
served wine bread and fish<br />
and some mystery dish<br />
made of devils and angels<br />
grave plots and cradles<br />
horses and hearses<br />
praises and curses</p>
<p>see the pillages and wonders<br />
the miracles and plunders<br />
a stumble, a fall<br />
see the great free-for-all<br />
now the rattle snake is coiling<br />
&#8217;round the sheets we are soiling<br />
he strikes while we&#8217;re sleeping<br />
and sows what we&#8217;re reaping</p>
<p>in the fracas and filth<br />
in the fire and the flood<br />
in the trash and the tumors<br />
the rash, and the rub<br />
all us tag team wrestlers<br />
get stuck in the mud<br />
and wrestle against<br />
not the flesh or the blood</p>
<p>we want an infinite meddler<br />
a fix-it-quick man<br />
but he gets off his high horse,<br />
gets dirt on his hands<br />
and he woos us like a lover<br />
through each bloody cessation<br />
and hangs on the cross<br />
with the rest of creation</p>
<p>and he woos us like a lover<br />
woos us like a lover<br />
woos us like a lover</p>
