QUOTE : The Lord seems far away at times, though I can’t reason why He was right here, just yesterday, as I was passing by I told Him in the morning that my time was really tight But promised I would talk with Him, sometime, perhaps that night Yet as the shadows cast their gloom ‘round evening colors deep I barely whispered thanks to Him as I fell off to sleep The Lord seems far away at times, the reasons: hard to say He tried to reach me in my thoughts, but work pushed Him away I promised Him at lunchtime I would read His Word and pray Instead I worked right past my meal and through the rest of day At dinnertime I bowed my head, to Him I gave a nod — And wondered, as I watched TV, where’s time to spend with God? If God seems far away at times, the reasons are all mine He’s always there to hear my prayers, yet He must wait in line There’s time each day to talk with Him, to read His word and pray When it seems God’s not reachable, it’s ‘cause I walked away He’s never changed His whereabouts, His steadfastness He’s proved If God seems far away from me... it wasn’t God who moved. ~Michele Dellapenta
