Finding God

This one is really old, just been going through my old stuff.  Some of it's worth sharing I think...


I used to find you in the stillness
of my quiet empty room
when no one was around to listen
I'd tell you my problems
and I'd tell you my dreams
I'd laugh a little, cry a little
and come away feeling so clean.

I used to find you in the music
and in words of praise to you
and when no one was listening
I'd sing my own song to you
and I'd worship you through the pain
I'd cry a little, laugh a little
and come away feeling whole again.

I used to find you in creation
outside on my own
and when no one could see me
I'd run and I'd run
imagining I was running into your arms
and I'd stand in quiet wonder
and I'd come away feeling so loved.

I haven't found you recently
but writing these words I know
that you're still there
just waiting for me.
