Are you There?
I stood beneath the waterfall
I whispered
"God, are you there?"
Then I felt my own heart beat
In His gentleness... to share.

I stood upon the mountain top
I whispered
"God, are you there?"
Then in echo, I would hear
Nature's sounds... everywhere.

I stood beside the ocean's edge
I whispered
"God, are you there?"
Then a rainbow crossed the sky
His love's reflection... filled my eyes.

I stood at my child's grave
I whispered
"God, are you there?"
Then my heart was lovingly filled
With beautiful memories... to cherish and share.

Then I stood all alone
God whispered
"Are you there?"
And I said, "Yes"
Dear God,
I send my praises to You above,
For always standing beside me
With Your never ending love.
