THE OMNI PRESENT

I lived as if He was absent

Living far off in a distant land.

In some space way way over there

Far from where I could reach Him

Out of this world

Somewhere in some space there,

Elsewhere

They taught me to call Him down

To create an atmosphere for Him

To soothe Him into my presence

In wails and in hushed whispers

With emotions and drama

So that He could come here

Just to have Him near

I lived omniabsent

To the reality of

The omnipresent God

He whose earth is

And the fullness thereof

Once a man woke up from a dream

Out in the wild

Where he laid his head on a stone

And it struck him really hard

“God was here and I was unawares,

This must be the house of God!”

Not in a cathedral

Not in a shrine

Not in a prayer closet

Not in a religious structure

Not in a fellowship

Just where he was

I have lived as if He was absent

Living far off in a distant land

In some space way way over there

Out of this world

Somewhere in some space there

Elsewhere

Wake me up Lord from this slumber

This deep unawareness

This gross unconsciousness

This blanketing darkness

This engulfing humanness

That lives far from you.

Bring me alive to you

Let the things of God

Touch this fleshy human

Attune me to your frequencies

Digitalize my analogue heart

Compound my simple eyes

Calibrate my fuzzy sight

Articulate your being within me

Amplify my hearing to your tones

And melodize my heartbeat

To the rhythms of your movements

Bring me alive to you

Encapsulate me into you

To live in you

To move in you

To have my being in you

Here and now

There and after

Ever present

With the Omnipresent God.
