Attend to God

If always You’re attentive, God, to me,
then should I not always attend to You?
For I’m Your creature, You’re my destiny,
You, Lord, Your love has always drawn me to.
The child attends the mother and the dad,
You are my mom and dad rolled into One,
You give me good and take away my bad,
and I’ll attend You as the ages run.
To know You, I must bring You far to near,
to find You, I must call to You in prayer,
to hear You, I must listen now and here,
and see with eyes of faith You’re always there.
To be attentive, I must look Your way,
and open up my heart to You today.
