He is right beside me (Psalm 16:8; NLT).
Keep on seeking, and you will find (Matthew 7:7; NLT).
Stretch out your hands to him (Job 11:13; NLT).
Whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17; NIV).
Lord,
You walk beside us all,
Stretching out your hand
To offer union with you.
But we’re too busy with our lives
To notice you;
So we never see you waiting patiently,
Nor do we seek your company.
Instead, we complain
That you seem far away,
Insist you’re dead,
Or claim you don’t exist.
But if we reach out
To join our hands with yours,
You will guide us towards union
With you.
