God's Presence, a rondeau Options

[JustDaniel]

God's Presence

God's presence isn't how I feel,
that warmth when in the church I kneel,
the sentiment that's in my poems.
It's not some vision that becomes
a driving force, the Spirit's seal.

Is there some reason He'd conceal
Himself from me? why He'd not heal
me? ... then in quiet, sudden comes
God's presence.

The substance of His Word congeals;
I recognize my faith is real.
I see He's known me from the womb,
prepares for me a Heav'nly home.
Obeying Him is what reveals
God's presence.
