Did you recognise Me as you sat alone to pray?
I was kneeling close beside you, as I do so every day

Did you recognise Me as I begged upon the street
Would you really know Me, should we ever properly meet

You look into the air, but I’m right here on the ground
You gaze around behind you, when it’s in front I can be found

You are looking in the church, but do you see Me there?
I am living in your heart, and for you I always care

You look out beyond the stars, but I’m right here on the Earth
You look to Me in death, but My gift to you is birth

I shine out of every face, but you continue to build a wall
Until you see ME in everything, you will not see ME at all.
