You Are There

You Are There
Jayne Erickson, OSB (4/29/26)

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence, O Lord?
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence, O Lord?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, you are there.
You are there. 

If I should find my way to the far side of the sea,
There you’ll be, your right hand holding me.
You’ll be my guiding light and through the darkest nights,
You’ll be there. You’ll be there.

You never let me go, companion at my side
Day by day, one moment at a time.
And when I feel alone, when I’m so far from home
You are there. You are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, you are there.
You are there.
You are there. You are there.

“Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.”
