For God, there is no stone too hard to lift --  
omnipotence, it brings its own rewards --  
but He can make one, it's his special gift.  
A paradox worth putting into words.

They fascinate us so, those paradoxes,  
and taunt us from the corners of our minds,  
won't fit into no neatly packaged boxes.  
A paradox perplexes and reminds

that there's a limit to our understanding,  
a point where reasoning and logic fails,  
and rigid rules require subtle bending.  
Yet all the while our logic, fights, assails,

demanding that there be a resolution.  
But just in case, we ask for absolution.
