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.
