Last time, I was talking about writing hymns/worship songs. I also write other faith-related songs, as a way of getting off my chest some of the more stupid and trite aspects of Christianity that annoy me.

I've just heard too many people say this. And it gets my goat everytime. Like God doesn't have anything better to do than organise the universe around your own personal convenience.

God gave me a Parking Place Today (to the tune of Love Divine, or Hyfydrol)

God gave me a parking place to-day
Right outside the Tesco store
I was tired, and it was raining
But God opened heaven's door
What care I for the homeless and helpless?
What care I about the poor?
God gave me a parking place to-day
Right outside the Tesco store.

'I know that this is vitriol
No-solution spleen-venting
But I feel better having screamed on you.'
