Wandering Alone - edited

As a people, as individuals
no sense of God’s presence
empty in God’s judgment
when we go astray
though God is with us
we do not feel God
when we turn from God
and God’s call for our lives

Wandering alone
seeking to be filled
looking for God
yet not finding God still
needing God’s grace
to fill our hunger
God alone able
to bring us back to God
