You Are Here
Tweet
God who is always here
In the light and breeze and breath
Of a warm spring afternoon
God - flitting on the wings of the robin
Skipping on the path - In each blade of grass
God- you are always here
In the prayers of the saints
In the cries of the martyrs
In the hearts of the faithful
And in the hopes of the downtrodden
Even in this silence - you are here
Even when I am not - you are here
God - you are always there
For those who sing your praise
Who can't recite your Word and offer their prayers
And for those who cannot pray
For death, and sadness, and horror
Have overcome them to darkness
Even in the dark - you are there
Even when I am not - you are there
I live and walk through the waking hours
But even when I sleep
When I am not aware
You are there
I cannot fathom your Presence
I can only sense - you are here
My skin extends - my fingers reach out
My soul gives praise
But then I sleep - I drive away
Distraction is so commonplace
But you are still here
In the dark - In the cold
In the light - and in the heat
When I am not - you are here
When I cannot - you are here
God who is always here
In the light and breeze and breath
Of a warm spring afternoon
God - flitting on the wings of the robin
Skipping on the path - In each blade of grass
God- you are always here
In the prayers of the saints
In the cries of the martyrs
In the hearts of the faithful
And in the hopes of the downtrodden
Even in this silence - you are here
Even when I am not - you are here
God - you are always there
For those who sing your praise
Who can't recite your Word and offer their prayers
And for those who cannot pray
For death, and sadness, and horror
Have overcome them to darkness
Even in the dark - you are there
Even when I am not - you are there
I live and walk through the waking hours
But even when I sleep
When I am not aware
You are there
I cannot fathom your Presence
I can only sense - you are here
My skin extends - my fingers reach out
My soul gives praise
But then I sleep - I drive away
Distraction is so commonplace
But you are still here
In the dark - In the cold
In the light - and in the heat
When I am not - you are here
When I cannot - you are here
