I spend my days looking for G*d’s presence
My life depends upon Grace;
I constantly yearn for G*d’s essence,
Since I can not see face to face.

Some days it is just a glance,
A double-take that quickly vanishes;
It leaves me wanting one more chance,
To see G*d in more than imperfect images.

Ashes to ashes, our beginning and end
We are more than sinew and bone,
G*d knows us though we may not attend –
To His efforts to love and Atone.

And then G*d’s Spirit blows through me
Carrying me to heights unknown,
On eagle’s wings I am lifted to see
My life, my loves, G*d’s throne.

That is why I need G*d’s presence
It comes as wind and fire,
Burning hot in my heart, soul and essence,
G*d finds what His heart desires.
