do you see this?

my book list keeps on growing 
recommended reading knowing 
not everyone will open up a page. 
but maybe a few stories 
can help them see the glories 
and heal some of their deep and inner rage. 

my song selection widens 
as at times i’m just abiding 
during moments in this hurried world called life. 
but maybe just a new song 
can help this soul along 
and bring a little peace amid the strife. 

that deeper reality; 
oh, do you see this? 
that holy mystery; 
oh, do you see this? 
i hope none of us will miss 
the wonder in our midst. 
i hope we see this. 

my many friends i deeply miss 
and my wife’s not home for a simple kiss 
on a day i seem to need them all so much. 
but an inner voice assures me 
that the questions will not lure me 
away from this One Who’ll quietly touch. 

that deeper reality; 
oh, do you see this? 
that holy mystery; 
oh, do you see this? 
i hope none of us will miss 
the wonder in our midst. 
i hope we see this. 

right now, 
He’s among us. 
right now, 
He’s within us. 
this mystery of grace 
looking in our face, 
no matter how we feel, 
let’s believe that He is real 
right now. 

that deeper reality; 
oh, do you see this? 
that holy mystery; 
oh, do you see this? 
i hope none of us will miss 
the wonder in our midst.
i hope we see this.
