God is never far away
In fact he is very near
Step inside your own dear heart
That place you sometimes fear
They told me when I went to school
God is everywhere
A catechism lesson
The truth it was right there
God lives in that secret place
When you want to pray
The Lord himself gave us this truth
It never went away
God knows you and loves you
He knows your every thought
Your feelings and your fantasies
Every fight you’ve fought
He is there beside you every day
Help nearer than the door
Speak to him and listen
Your heart that’s what it’s for

+ At primary school we had great fun in the school yard pointing out funny places where God would be, this after our catechism class had told us ‘God is everywhere’. What a precious truth we held in our hands.
