He Abideth

AUDIO: Music for lyrics below...

He Abideth

He's not in a box -- never was,
Giver of Life, He's the First Cause;

He left a bit; it is His style,
He wants to make the world worthwhile,

Yet from the start, always a part,
Subtle whatnots, no if's, no but's,

He's in our thoughts, in our prayers,
He's here, He's there, He's everywhere,

He's in our voice, makes us rejoice,
Sing songs of joy, open, not coy,

He's built our lacking within us,
Carpenter Son, upgrade A-Plus,

When tests and trials overwhelm,
Lord God, Sword, and Shield take the helm,

Tying loose ends, bring it all in,
Making us whole, complete again,

A hymn is heard courses our ears,
Labyrinths attuned suite appears,

Parables are quite revealing,
His Word vigils heal, appealing,

We love our God, we're more than friends,
We're one on one, two tight bookends,

When it is us who choose to hide,
His shepherd Son, Holy Ghost guide,

Our God is good, He'd never hide,
Our God, our hearts--constants inside

Sun creator, whose light outpour
His force to shine forevermore.

Nothing hidden, no one ignored
Our King of kings, our precious Lord.
