God Comes To Us

God comes to us in Spring's return,
In crocus bud, a dainty fern,
God comes to us in all things new.
God comes to us in baby steps,
In challenges of first attempts,
God comes to us in morning dew.

God comes to us in Summer's day,
In bumblebees, as children play,
God comes to us on a breeze.
God comes to us when day is long,
Our bodies ache, we've lost our song,
God comes to us, our hearts to ease.

God comes to us in Autumn's haze,
In ripened grain, in shorter days,
God comes to us in gathering time.
God comes to us in stranger's face,
In longing glance of every race.
God comes to us in bread and wine.

God comes to us on Winter's night,
In baby's breath, by firelight,
Go comes to us on a star.
God comes to us amidst our fears,
Unspoken joys, unending tears,
God comes to us, where we are.
