GOD IS EVERYWHERE

Wilhelmina Belle Barnes

Can you imagine infinity?
God is there.
Consider the place where you now are:
God is there.
Nearer than near; farther than far;
God is here; God is there;
Closer to man than the very air.
God is everywhere.

How can we know? How can we tell?
By trusting Him we are made well.
By loving Him we find great peace.
By knowing Him we gain release
From every fear, from every ill;
And thus we find we can fulfill
God's holy and impartial plan
For His beloved image, man.

God is as near as He is dear
To every heart;
And each of us can do his part
To prove God's care is everywhere.

Wilhelmina Belle Barnes
