P is for God’s own Presence
Oh wondrous gift today!
I AM, the Lord Jehovah
Is close at hand for aye!
Like air that fills the universe
And never dissipates,
He’s ever near His children,
To those that on Him wait.
Throughout the earth and Heaven,
In depths He’s present still;
No distant orb escapes Him,
For all the world He fills.
Flee from His presence? Never.
Nor height, nor depth, nor sea
Can separate us from this Lord—
He is, eternally.
When time itself shall perish,
When earth with fire ignites,
When misery and darkness
Become this sad world’s plight—
Yet even then His presence
Shall ever be the same;
Our God shall never falter:
Praise offer to His name!

“Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man:
thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues,” Psalm 31:20.
