God Is No Stranger
God is no stranger in a far away place________
He is as close as the wind that blows' across my face.
It's true that I can't see the wind as it blows ,
But I feel it around me and my heart surely knows
That God's mighty hand can be felt every where,
For there is nothing on earth that is not in God's care.
The sky and the stars, the waves and the sea,
The dew on the grass, the leaves on a tree
Are constant reminders of God and His nearness
Proclaiming His presence with crystal-like clearness.
So how could I think God was so far far away
When I feel Him beside me every hour of the day?
And I have many reasons to know God's my friend,
And this is one friendship that time cannot end.
