He Is There

He Is There. 

No matter where we go, God is there. 
There is not a place He does not share. 

We may think we can run and hide, 
But God is always by our side. 

He knows what sin we may have made, 
And with our prayers He can make them fade.

He knows each drop of dew that may fall, 
And He knows the sparrow when it calls. 

He knows the place of each grain of sand, 
And holds the stars in His hand. 

By the whispering of the winds, we can hear His voice, 
And by the songs of birds – His name rejoice. 

Don’t ever think that God isn’t there, 
No matter where you roam – that road He’ll share.

Your poems appear to probe my mind and see the things that I meditate on also Wendell. I guess that is the Holy Spirit working in us all. Thanks for your level headed inspiring words of experience shared in the Spirit. -Robert
