In Search Of God
 
  I looked for God in holy places.
I looked for God in busy streets.
I searched each day at work and play.
Where e'er I searced he wasn't there.
Oh where is God? Oh where, oh where?

I searched for him through hill and valley,
through mountains, desert, sea to sea.
Looked through forest, field and farmland,
I searched and searched, he wasn't there.
Oh where is God? I know not where.

I looked for him in far off places.
I searched by land, by air and sea.
Searched the faces of the races.
I could not find him anywhere.
Where are you God? Please tell me where.

I grew weary from my searching
and fell upon my knees in prayer.
Ah, at last my search was over.
I found him there inside my heart
and now I see him everywhere.

Again Sir Ron Amazing words! I never had to search for God always from the time I could, knew I had something special in me and with me always. But I had to find a way to get closer to Him. I have now done just that. I am a Certified Minister of the Lord now. Quit my job of eighteen years for Sam's Club and sold all of my antiques and clothes and jewelry to follow Him. Sounds crazy for these times, but I had a miracle occur that brought it all to a deeper understanding and trust. God Bless, God's Servant, Linda
