In some time or other place,
What one intends
Meets up with grace.
Such is a Moment,
Filled with Spirit.
Scarcely do things go as planned;
Yet with upward palm-flat hand,
Found may be what’s yet more grand.
Such is a Moment,
Filled with Spirit.
Fist gripped tight round God-knows-what,
To other eyes it’s merely air.
Believe it or not our Father’s there.
Such is a Moment,
Filled with Spirit.
No matter the evil or compromise,
Repentance and redemption are the prize.
If not for Presence none would arise.
Such is a Moment,
Filled with Spirit.
Omnipresent simply means
His grain the Savior smartly gleans
And his harvest does not waste.
Such is a Moment,
Filled with Spirit.
Forsaken rings an aweful note;
Life is left to bring forth life
Sundering idol, sin, and strife.
Such is the Moment.
