I Found You

I found You this morning, almost at dawn,
The soft early breeze was Your tag-a-long;
Then later when birds rushed to answer the calls
Of their nestlings who hungered in their home by the wall.

I found You in sunlight that scattered the dark;
In the bright butterfly, in the flowers in the park;
I found You in music that caught in the trees;
By the babbling brook ~ the bend of my knees.

Each time I was looking, Lord, You were still there,
At noontime, and even the warm evening air;
But I knew You were more than these feelings I had
So looked for Your Spirit in the face of a lad;

And You were there, in the twinkling eyes;
I found You depicted as they watched the skies.
I saw a beggar - (You were there too!)
A baby was crying...it stopped, was it You?

Then came the glorious sunset scene!
Almost the most beautiful I’d ever seen!
The twinkling stars made their debut ~
A full moon, but all of it pointed to You!

All day I had watched ~ Your presence I found;
But, I longed to be sure in my heart you abound;
So, I looked in my mirror for that certain light,
Laid my head on my pillow ~ slept soundly all night.
