When I dream of God
Where is He?
When I pray to God
Where is He?
When I pray in Spirit
Where is He?
When I pray His name
Where is He?
When I call Him Father
Where is He?

I know of him in my head,
I feel Him in my heart,
And I know Him in grace
When the sins of my past
Haunt the empty place
Not yet surrendered to Him

When loved ones die
Where is He?
When little ones suffer
Where is He?
When the innocence cries
Where is He?
When the vanity boasts
Where is He?
When hell comes to visit
Where is He?

He is my Shepherd seeking
When will He find me here
Asking these questions
When will He start speaking
The words to heal the heart
Where His love is said to dwell

I know of Him in my head
He sent His Son to me
I feel Him in my heart
He died for me to see
And I know Him in grace
Rising from the grave
When the sins of the past
Buried with Him
Haunt the empty place
Where He once lay
Before death surrendered to Him

If my heart is empty
It is on the wrong side
Of this earth’s womb
My heart is the place
Where He dwells alive
And not the empty tomb

When a loved one dies
He is waiting for them.
When a little one suffers
He suffers with them.
When the innocence cries
He collects all the tears.
When the vanity boasts
He seeks and gives grace
When hell comes to visit
He takes our place.
