139. I used my powers

```

I used my money-power

To buy God.

God smiled, and then cried.

I used my love-power

To buy God.

God cried, and then smiled.

I used my surrender-power

To win God.

God cried and cried.

In God's Smile

I discovered how far

He wants to remain:

Farther than the farthest.

In God's Cry

I discovered how near

He has always been:

Nearer than the nearest. ```
