Where are you, O God.
You left me here . . . so alone.
You walked with me,
held me in your arms.
You whispered.
do not be afraid, I Am here
But not today, O Lord.
Today I am alone, afraid.
Come, O Sacred Sprit.
I long for Your comforting touch,
Your sweet kiss
light upon my cheek.
O Gracious Presence,
I hold Your words in my heart, my being.
I dance with harp and trumpet,
I shout, O my Soul
with joy and song.
I sing Your praises in
the Cathedrals of field and mountains.
Your grace fills me to overflowing,
my heart swells with gratitude.
Come, O Holy One
I need, I long, for You.
I long for Your blessings.
Come dance with me.
Come sing with me.
Come hold me,
O Spirit of life.
