From “a slow and sudden God: 40 years of wonder.”
my book list keeps on growing
recommended reading knowing
not everyone will open up a page.
but maybe a few stories
can help them see the glories
and heal some of their deep and inner rage.
my song selection widens
as at times i’m just abiding
during moments in this hurried world called life.
but maybe just a new song
can help this soul along
and bring a little peace amid the strife.
that deeper reality;
oh, do you see this?
that holy mystery;
oh, do you see this?
i hope none of us will miss
the wonder in our midst.
i hope we see this.
my many friends i deeply miss
and my wife’s not home for a simple kiss
on a day i seem to need them all so much.
but an inner voice assures me
that the questions will not lure me
away from this One Who’ll quietly touch.
that deeper reality;
oh, do you see this?
that holy mystery;
oh, do you see this?
i hope none of us will miss
the wonder in our midst.
i hope we see this.
right now,
He’s among us.
right now,
He’s within us.
this mystery of grace
looking in our face,
no matter how we feel,
let’s believe that He is real
right now.
that deeper reality;
oh, do you see this?
that holy mystery;
oh, do you see this?
i hope none of us will miss
the wonder in our midst.
i hope we see this.
