85) Poem – God is Here

Saturday May 31
Driving from Plymouth to Madison
Talking out loud to Jesus in the car
“Jesus, I want to KNOW You!”

And my words stopped
Trailing off
My heart was moved
And I had to stop speaking

Billboard on the side of the road
“God Is Here”
“Random” billboard
With words I needed to see

God’s Word to my heart
Assurance of His Love
Of His Presence
Of His Love

Over and over
All I need to do
Receive His Love
And give it back to others

How do I do that?
Receive His Love?
In Adoration
At Holy Mass

In His Word
In praise and worship
In letting myself be loved
By those in my life

By remembering God’s faithfulness
His care for me
All through my life
All through my life

So Thank You Lord praise You
For stopping me
Even as I spoke
I spoke the words out loud

I think You want me
To do that more often
To say it out loud
And know that You hear me

I love You Lord
I want to KNOW You!
To know You, Jesus
With all that is within me…
