*Are you there?*

Searching for a feeling

Seeking affirmation,

A form or a face

If you are in the wind,

Let me feel your touch

If you are in my thoughts,

Give me a sound mind

If you are in my heart,

Help it to love and forgive

If those are your footprints walking beside me,

Why can't I feel your presence?

Are you there?

If you are in my spirit,

Give me strength to live and endure

If you are in my soul,

Give me purpose and contentment

If you hear prayer after prayer

From these tattered knees,

Why haven't you answered?

Are you there?

Am I at fault?

Have I let you in?

Or doubted your existence?

-Neither-

How do you trust a feeling?

If your blood is a healing crimson flow

Let it cleanse me of all doubts

Seeking affirmation,

A form or a face

Are you there, Lord?

Are you there?
