The Love of God

I kneel at the altar rail,

sun streaming in the windows,

loneliness assails.

I cannot go on in this,

I wail out within my soul,

alone, sad, adrift.

Up beautiful swells the song,

around me kneel His people,

I can't be alone!

Where God is, there is always love,

when His people love, He reigns.

I am swept above,

On wings of song, sacrament

I lift up my tear stained face

this is what is meant,

by trials His love is proved,

by sorrow is love redeemed,

faith again renewed.
