Words that rhyme with God
God is a common-tongue word: one-syllable, vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, ending that lands on a closed syllable. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get the perfect-rhyme column has enough to live in, family rhymes come up empty, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Sketch the lyric role and you get a household-word. Lean on the strict column for the hooks; the slants can colour the verses.

Why god rhymes the way it does
God sits on the round /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 61 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 6,733, and consonance 863. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for god tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
