God's Omnipresence

Anything true always strikes 

A responsive chord in me 

For which I am deeply thankful;

Thankful because I realize

That it is not me but You 

Who causes my being to quiver:

For You are always present 

In the hearts of even those 

Who scorn to take Your Name -

The invisible principle 

Guiding them on in 

Whatever task they attempt. 

Until maybe, aeons later, 

The scales fall from their eyes 

And they understand what it was 

That supported them

Through all the past ages...

Through all their successes 

And through all their failures -

Through all their ups and downs. 

What it was that made them 

Alternately hope and despair,

And in the name of which 

They unknowingly sought for 

The origin of that impulse 

Which always made them seek

The best within themselves 

And in everything around them. 

Truly, You live in all...

Undoubtedly in those who sense You exist 

But the greater miracle is 

That You guide even the blind who disbelieve!
