All Around Me

In the meadow, the wind, like your Spirit, it moved

I don't see it, but I know that it's there

I feel it around me

I'm so glad you that you found me

In the meadow I know that you're there

At the ocean, the waves, like your power, come down

I respect it, with reverential fear

Though your waves would o'ertake me

If I had no regard

For the ocean's creator, You're there

In the tall wooded forests

Majestic with life, the birds sing a song in the air

And I'm gonna sing with them, to the King of Creation

In the forest, I know that you're there

On the mountainside tall, I look down on it all

But that spaciousness doesn't compare

To the size of your grace, overflowing this place

On the mountain, I know that you're there

In the closet, at night, when I turn out the light

I can talk and you can hear my prayer

What I don't know to say, your Spirit translates

In the closet, I know that you're there

In a dark lonely place, when I abuse your grace

And in shame I shed many a tear

When the sin has enticed, your grace will suffice

In repentance, I know that you're there

And finally at death, when I take my last breath

The cold ground my body will bear

But I've been clothed anew with a dwelling from you

In the end, Lord, I know that you're there
