There is a Presence (Vol 3 No 11)

There is a presence here and now;

A presence with us all;

A presence when we’re trav’ling high;

A presence when we fall.

 

We know not whence it comes or how;

It pacifies our soul;

In grief or gloom this presence brings

A calm that can console.

 

When we reject ‘the self’ within

And guilt can reign supreme

This presence is a source of love

To comfort and redeem.

 

When joy comes by to cheer our path

This presence fills our heart;

When wonderment, thanksgiving swells

Despair and woe depart.

 

There is a presence here and now;

A presence we can feel;

It re-creates, renews, restores;

So present and so real.
