ALBUM:      Amazing Creator  'n'  Critters

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC
       I absolutely loved playing “all over” my bass on this song.  I had just gotten my Ibanez 5-string bass, and that “THUMP  THUMP   THUMP”   in interludes was my first chance to really slam it!   This song also amuses me because, honestly,

 I had almost no  “country” experience -- including playing the radio! 

       THE  LYRICS  tell the story:  A little black and white sick cat, Gizmo, will be long remembered in God's parable of  Psalm 46:10. 
       Dedicated to our Lord, 3 January 2009, in memory of Gizmo-- Tom's little black & white kitty.

LYRICS

1
Well,  I started to leave my chair and go to wash my dishes.
When suddenly,  I found myself trapped under my white kitty!
Poor Gizmo'd struggled to my lap, turned once and fell asleep there.
She'd been so sick, so sad, so frail:    How  COULD  I leave my chair????

No TV  on,   no radio.  No telephone in reach.
I'm stuck there under my sick chair,  wishing I had a peach.
(Sorry.... songs are supposed to rhyme.  

Forgive that one,  I beseech!)

So there I am trapped by a cat with nothing else to do.
I figured,    MAYBE I SHOULD PRAY?  Can't hurt.  Might help me too.
So first I prayed for my sick cat --- our God of love won't mind.
Then prayed for people that I love.   CAT STILL ASLEEP.  More time....

So then I prayed for church and friends,     for peace with God to find.
Then prayed for people  I  don’t  like.    CAT STILL ASLEEP.  More time....
 

3
What next to pray?  Peace for my day,  to trust,  “With God, all's fine.”
Then prayed for wisdom,   strength,     
           PATIENCE!   CAT  STILL  ASLEEP.  More time....
SO MUCH that I should go and do.     Yet..... at peace under this feline.
A quiet joy from touching fur................ and joy touching Divine.
 

4
At last!    It's time!    Gizmo awakes,   yawns,  ambles down,  goes eat.
No longer trapped ----- and yet I stay,  to pray --- with God  I meet.
Trapped under a cat,  I re-learned this --- Joy thanking God for WHO He is,
peace from praying....
joy in staying
in our loving God's presence.
