WHERE IS GOD

[MIRIAM JACOB]

WHERE IS GOD?


I looked out the window,
And asked 'Where is God?'
The dewdrops on the beautiful flowers
Just smiled up at me,
As they sparkled in the sunlight
And said 'Here He is.'


I looked at the heavens,
And asked 'Where is God?'
The myriads of stars and galaxies
Looked down on me,
And in the beauty of the night,
They whispered,'Here He is.'


I looked on the road below
With its hustle and bustle,
And in wonderment exclaimed,
'Where is God?'
And in the face of a baby,
I did see God.


I saw a little boy
Lend his arm to an old man,
And there I saw God;
In the jubilant faces of the young,
And the serenity of the old,
I saw God.


God is everywhere;
We have to feel His presence;
He is with us and in us.
Our life blood throbs within us,
As He looks down on us,
And His peace fills us to the brim.
