Where are You Lord?

How long O’ Lord

How long must I wait?

What are you trying to teach me?

What are you trying to say?

What are you, Lord?

I cannot see you.

Are you in the green grass?

The mountain air?

A lover’s embrace?

Emptiness and pain are often louder than Your words,

Uncertainty and loss blind me to Your presence.

Yet, there is a stirring inside of me,

a flicker, a lump of coal, smouldering – gently within.

Tenderly blow upon these embers and awaken this old and dying heart.

Breath from Your nostrils – life.

Where are You, O’ Lord?
