“What God Is to Us”

“What God Is to Us”

Leddy Hammock

Inspired by lyrics to “God Is” by Richard Mekdeci, based on the “Prayer for Protection” by James Dillet Freeman:

“In the morning when I rise and before I close my eyes,
Anytime I’m in despair, I just speak this little prayer —

When the cold winds start to blow and they beat upon your door,
Every night will have its dawn, hold this thought as you hold on —

We all hear the Spirit call. It’s a small world after all.
Bound together in and through this one common, simple Truth:
God’s light surrounds us, God’s love enfolds us;
God’s power protects us; The presence of God watches over us;
Wherever we are, GOD IS!”
