There is […] one God and Father,
who is over all and in all and living through all
(Ephesians 4:5-6; NLT).
1. Lord,
You are in everything around us:
All we touch, and taste,
And hear, and see.
2. Lord,
You live in everyone beyond us:
Each neighbour, stranger,
Those from whom we flee.
3. Lord,
You dwell in everything above us:
Every star and planet,
Moon, and sun.
4. Lord,
You are for evermore within us:
In exile, then in heaven,
When life is done.
