The Voice Of God

THE VOICE OF GOD

WITHIN THE CROWDED CITY...
WHERE
LIFE IS SWIFT AND FLEET
DO YOU EVER LOOK FOR JESUS
UPON THE BUSY STREET?
ABOVE THE NOISE AND LAUGHTER
THAT IS EMPTY, CRUEL, AND LOUD
DO YOU LISTEN FOR THE VOICE OF GOD
IN THE RESTLESS SURGING CROWD?
DO YOU PAUSE IN MEDITATION
UPON LIFE'S THOROUGHFARE
AND OFFER UP THANKSGIVING
OR SAY A WORD OF PRAYER?
WELL, IF YOU WOULD FIND THE
SAVIOUR NO NEED TO SEARCH AFAR
FOR GOD IS ALL AROUND YOU
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE
AND WHETHER ON A COUNTRY ROAD...
OR A BUSY CROWDED STREET.
