sunsetdock1A compelling song by Grace Pettis describing the depth of God’s presence in our lives regardless of who we are or what our situation. He is our God, and He is a God of love.

 

In the prison cell, love is there. In the soldier’s private hell, love is there.

For the mother who blessed us, love is there. With the father who left us, love is there.

With the battered wife, love is there. With the orphan in the night, love is there.

With the homeless in the rain, love is there and in the middle of our pain, love is there.


Love is where you are and you are with us now.

In the broken places in the empty spaces

Love is there somehow.


In a remembered kiss, love is there. In the razor at her wrist, love is there.

In the drunkard’s dream, love is there. When it’s hard to believe, love is there.


Love is where you are and you are with us now.

In the broken places in the empty spaces

Love is there somehow.


So with lovers romancing, love is there. And with a little girl dancing, love is there.

With the stillborn and his mother, love is there. When we kill each other, love is there.


Love is where you are and you are with us now.

In the broken places in the empty spaces

Love is there somehow.
