Our Lord

In His word He says to listen
to be watchful and aware
    so the you would know Him
should He be standing there
    Now would you recognize Him
midst a dark and stormy cloud
    or hear Him if He whispered
or even spoke to you aloud
    Could you see Him in a derelict
look past His tattered clothes
    and see His robe and sandals
now think dear child,suppose
    How He appeared to Israel
to the leaders of His day
    If  He stood like that before you
would you turn and walk away
    How many times through history
midst trials pain and tears
    has He stood before His children
through the centuries and years
    Now seek for you shall find Him
He's right where all can see
    for He dwells in precious vessels
that look like you and me!
