God Is

God Is

 

No past, no future, no present 

Just for a brief glimpse of eternity 

In this moment of time

Time allotted to me, seventy or a thousand 

I am that I am, for me always the present 

 

The present for me is all I have 

All that was given me for this moment 

The time of my sojrurn though so brief 

If lived for seventy or a thousand years

So brief a stay, then I'm through living

 

Given a moment to enter such a mystery

Yet never can fully understand, God is

God is love, God is good, God is immutable

God is omniscient, God is omnipotent

God is omnipresent, God is

 

Dwelling in time is limited, never to grasp 

Given an audience, in God's presence 

Eternal dwelling is as God is

To experience is as God is 

 

When separated I cried out, "Why has thou forsaken me"

In death, I cried for eternity that was meant for me

God's presence in my existence goes way beyond

Everything that's God which I'll never ever know

Has no past, no future, no present

Just for my finite understanding, cause God is

Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
