God Rector

God hears me even when I do not talk,
He listens even when I am asleep,
He joins me when I'm on a lonely walk,
He puts His arm around me when I weep.
 
God helps me up when I have fallen down,
He comforts me when I am feeling pain,
He rescues me when I'm about to drown,
He somehow turns my losses into gain.

God stirs the stars then stoops to stir my soul,
He gives me all from His infinity,
He makes me run when I just want to stroll,
together we produce the person me.

O God, You are the rector of my being,
may I see You when I’m not even seeing.
