38. Still God wants you to work for Him

Although
You have fallen asleep,
    God wants you to work
    For Him.
    Why?
God wants you to conquer sleep
So that you can be
    His sleepless partner.

    Although
You have told a good many lies,
    God wants you to work
    For Him.
    Why?
God wants you to conquer falsehood
So that you can be
    His perfect partner.
