My Roommate

My life is like I’m living in a room,
that’s limited by walls of time and space,
the furniture’s my experience I plumb,
I look around to see who’s in this place.

I know God’s here since He is everywhere,
He is my Roommate more than anyone,
my floor and ceiling, sunlight, food and air,
my Father, Brother, Love--and I’m His son.

No use pretending He will go away,
He fills each need of mine with care and love,
He helps my work and studies every day,
and keeps me focused on the things above.

I can’t avoid this Roommate so sublime,
we’ll be together for the longest time.
