Love's Not Geography

I wonder, God, where do I love You best?
Transcendent One, beyond out there somewhere,
Who made the galaxies and all the rest,
Almighty God, Who gave me all that’s there?

Or hidden spiritual Lord, inside me deep?
Companion, guide and loving personal Friend,
Who walks with me awake and in my sleep,
Who made my soul to keep it to the end?

I pray, Far God, You lend me all Your might,
Close Lord, I pray You care for me right here,
Light of the World, You fire my inner light,
You stir my love, O Lord, both far and near.

Inside or out, love’s not geography,
both yon and here, how dearly You love me.
