General (Vol. 1)
Always
- God is always with us
In the terror of the night,
In the twilight of self doubting,
In the cruelty of light:
Not a galaxy nor atom
That eludes His steady care,
Nothing done without a meaning,
Nothing worthy of despair.
- God is always with us
In the famine with His food,
In the battle and the terror
With the strength of His own blood:
In the x-ray and the scanner,
In the tumour and the knife,
In the balance of existence,
In the calculus of life.
- God is always with us
And His immanence divine
Has been grounded in the earthly
Sacrifice of bread and wine:
And the Spirit's living presence
Permeates all barren space
In the baptism of water,
In the comradeship of Grace.
