CCLI Song # 7142179
based on Colossians 1:26-27 and Galatians 5:23-23
I was driving to school to begin a new job teaching in a public school in a new town. I was praying to be aware of Gods presence as I began my day. As I meditated on Gods presence, the words of this song began to come to mind. I pulled to the side of the road, found an old envelop, drew a staff and began writing.
We are told the heavens cannot contain God; God is spirit; and there is nowhere we can go to escape His presence. Thus, every inhabitant on earth is continually within Gods physical presence. On the other hand, we are urged to come into His presence. Also, Christs presence is continuously available to us through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Experiencing the presence of God is an act of the will, an act of faith. Remembering and experiencing His presence is life changing for everyday life. We are in His presence at work and school, at the market and while we are driving, in sorrow and in pleasure, in danger and in peace.
I think of Gods presence when I lap swim. I cannot float in the air, but I can float in water. Just as the water of the swimming pool surrounds me and holds me afloat, so Gods presence is constantly surrounding and supporting me every moment of every day.
