where is God when the
cold wind blows,
when the ice and snow have
covered every leaf
and sculpted stone
where is God when the sun
shines bright,
when the balm and glow have
lifted every moment up
by half degrees
where is God when you are
lonely
where is God when you are
glad,
where is God when every moment
of my life flits by?
in the nooks and crannies - for those
who are looking,
in the wide open places, for those
who are seeking,
in the stillest, smallest voice, for those
who have ears,
in the thunder and the flash, for those
who are knocking
where is God in the darkness,
where is God in the night,
where is God when I'm crying,
where is God when I've died
all around me,
up above,
underneath,
in every cell
God is everywhere that you are,
and everywhere that you
are not
God is present at the grave
God is present at the altar,
God is present when you love,
God is present when you falter,
God is in the world around you,
God is in your own heart, too,
don't look up if you don't want to,
but He's still looking down
at you.
