God becomes a Presence (Vol 3 No 10)
God becomes a presence
In this world of struggle
When our love is dominating;
God becomes a presence
Bold and true and certain
When our love is unabating;
God is then
Known again
In our acts of kindness;
Bringing light to darkness.
God becomes a presence
When forgiveness triumphs
Over all our hurtful passion;
God becomes a presence
When revenge is halted
And we counter with compassion;
God is then
Known again
In each loving gesture;
Such are times we treasure.
God becomes a presence
Standing by the victims
Of injustice and oppression;
God becomes a presence
When we stand beside them
Offering them our protection;
God is then
Known again
When we risk for others,
Shielding sisters, brothers.
God becomes a presence
When we look at Jesus;
When we listen to his preaching;
God becomes a presence
When we follow Jesus,
Taking heed of all his teaching;
God is then
Known again
Shown in all the glory
Of the Jesus story.
