Do you ever feel God Nearby? You can, every day. Just try |
In His Presence Not for the first time, I felt the presence of God today, In beautiful music, and so many other ways. I felt a surge of emotion, thought I’d lost my mind, Then looked around in awe, wondering what I might find I saw the world around me as never before, This place we take for granted, but nevermore. Everything near, so surreal, so serene, I could feel the love that covered this scene. Not for the first time, I felt the touch of God today, The sky turned blue, where before it had been gray. It was a soft, gentle touch, raising the hair on my arm, I wasn’t worried, I knew I was safe from harm. That touch was like a feather, then again, not, A soft summer breeze, cooling one a lot. Maybe like a whisper, we hear when fast asleep, One we yearn to remember, always to keep. Not for the first time, I heard God speak today, Anyone can hear him, just listen if you may I don’t recall what he said, I remember his tone, Hearing it, I know we’re not on our own. For the first time, I saw God today. In amazement, I found myself kneeling to pray. Then the air changed, I was once more alone. But I wasn’t, for he’s always with me, in my home.
