The Lord Passed By Me Today

By Ambianced1 | 2006

The Lord passed by me today.
I felt Him in the chill of the morning breeze.
I felt Him in the dampness of the fallen dew.
The ground groaned as the weight of His burdens pressed down upon it.
In the rustle of the trees I heard Him whisper my name.
In the reflection of the stream His eyes held my soul.
The birds grew still so not to disturb the sound of the Lord.

How I wish I had slowed down this morning when He passed.
How I wish I had stopped my life to have called back when He whispered my name.
How I wish I had mimicked the birds and became still.
When the trees rustled, I should have turned so that I may have caught a glimpse of His robe.
I should have sought to sit in His shadow if only for a moment.

How does one overlook the presence of the Lord? How could I have missed the fragrance of His spirit? Why must I only pause for calamity and confusion? Why do I only seek the things that will not bring me comfort or joy? Why would I choose to ignore the only one who holds my soul?

The Lord passed by me today; Tomorrow I will seek to be still.
