There is a Presence (Vol 2 No 16)
There is a Presence so profound
Often perceived in sight and sound;
This is the Presence that we feel;
Never controlled and yet so real;
To this, The Sacred, we are bound;
Finding ourselves on holy ground.
There is a Presence we can know
Prompting us love both friend and foe;
When we confront a hostile face
We can be moved to act with grace;
To this, The Sacred, we are bound;
Finding ourselves on holy ground.
There is a Presence deep within
Giving us hope, a will to win;
When we encounter searing pain
We find more strength we can’t explain.
To this, The Sacred, we are bound;
Finding ourselves on holy ground.
Signs of this sacred Presence shine
When justice, love and hope combine;
As we forgive, act graciously,
Hold to the truth, give gen’rously
We are connected to the core
Of the Divine. We stand in awe!
