God Will Be There
by Wayne Eastman

God is with me all the time,
But I can seldom feel it.

Daily toils just have a way,
Obscure him and conceal it.

I would like to go somewhere,
That lets his love surround me.

Troubles there would fade away,
A place where I can feel free.

Look in the sky,
Do more than stare
Explore the blue
God will be there.

Go to the shore,
Breathe in the air.
Each wave that breaks,
God will be there.

Attend a church,
For silent prayer
Reveal your thoughts,
God will be there.

News that's broadcast day and night,
Is always so depressing.

Lives are filled with too much pain,
Reports are always stressing.

I just have to turn it off,
Don't need those facts in my life.

How I long to find a site,
Conflict free with no strife.

Walk in the rain,
Without a care.
Raindrops on skin,
God will be there.

Sunrays emerge,
The sky turns bare.
Just feel the warmth,
God will be there.

Rainbows appear,
We stop and stare.
What greater sign,
God will be there.

I've met people in my life,
Who think money is divine.
Their whole life is all about,
Dow Jones and the bottom line.

Money talk bores me so much,
Possessions do not matter.

I'll go to my private spot,
It's calm and free from chatter.

Hold up your ring,
Into the air,
It has no end,
God will be there.

Ignite a wick,
Survey the flare.
Inside the glow,
God will be there.

Close both your eyes,
Say the Lord's Prayer.
Ask for his love.
God will be there.

Many people seem to think,
God lives only in a church.

They can't see him everywhere,
Like a sparrow on a perch.

I too worship on Sunday,
But my reverence stays with me.

As I live my life each day,
I just think, "How did He ...?"

Look in the sky,
Do more than stare
Explore the blue
God will be there.

Go to the shore,
Breathe in the air.
Each wave that breaks,
God will be there.

Attend a church,
For silent prayer
Reveal your thoughts,
God will be there.

God is with me all the time,

Now I can always feel it.
