"Laughing with"
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
no one's laughing at God
when they're starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God
when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God
When it's gotten real late
And their kid's not back from the party yet
No one laughs at God
when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake
No one's laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with some one else
And they hope that they're mistaken
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
when they crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they're 'bout to choke
God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so funny
Ha ha
Ha
