The God That I Know

we all look at the sky To look for God, the almighty; Oblivious that He resides Within our own Heart! The doors of which opens By the soothing vibrations Of truthful prayer that springeth From the bottom of our heart. We go from temple to temple From one to the other of places holy In search of Him Forgetting that He resides In the sweat of the man down the street who toils from dawn till eve for bread for his simple family Does not God resides in The innocent smile and giggle Of the child in the street A destitute's only possession. Know thee then that my God Lives in Truth and in simplicity; Know Him thus, and Praise Him For He alone and only He alone Can lead us from illusory living To a living that's gateway to Heaven.
