(58) April 22, 2010: Here & Now

HERE & NOW

No matter what the Fates allow,
Come lonely sorrow, pain or fear;
One truth remains: it’s always now,
And God is always here.

No matter what the Future brings,
Your failing flesh can persevere;
“It’s always now,” your spirit sings,
“And God is always here.”

Whenever thoughts of death assail,
And shadows press so very near;
It’s always now—in Christ prevail—
Your God is always here.

And when in Glory 'round His thrown,
Where all is light in every sphere;
It will be now, as you have known,
And God is always here.
