JIS XIX 2007: 180

ECHOES  OF  GOD'S  PRESENCE

Stephen R. Palmquist
Hong Kong Baptist University

Ever near
In each time and in each space,
Ever far
From oblivion's disgrace,
Echoes:
There is a---
Presence.

Ev'ry fear
In our hearts and souls and minds,
Ev'ry star
From hope's disenchantment finds,
Echoes:
There is---
a Presence.

Very moved
In our secret silent sense,
Very quelled
From pain's pacified pretense,
Echoes:
There---
is a Presence.

Never proved
In each search and in each gain,
Ne'r dispelled
From reason's resounding reign,
Echoes:
---
There is a Presence.
