Locating the Lord

“They continually say unto me, Where is thy God?... They say daily unto me, Where is thy God?  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?  Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the Health of my countenance, and my God” (Psalm 42:3,10,11).  “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10). 

Now where is your God?  How often I’ve heard

This question that rises again and again!

But God has been faithful in deed and in word

In spite of the daily denial of men.

Now where is your God?  He’s not hard to find,

If only we honestly open our eyes.

But still there are those who are willfully blind,

Who, in their rebellion, refuse to be wise.

Now where is your God?  It wearies our soul

That so many ask it, and yet will not hear

Historical evidence, Scripture so full,

And all of creation abundantly clear!

Now where is your God?  We’re called to the task

Of showing the truth that the Lord has revealed. 

Be ready to answer all those who will ask

The reason we know that our souls have been healed.

The fear of the Lord is wisdom’s beginning,

So that is the place where our witness should start.

How great is the need of the souls we are winning

To show them this truth that enlightens the heart.

We thank You, O Lord, for the answers You give

To those who are asking about Your location.

So teach us to speak and convincingly live

That others may seek You and find Your salvation.
