Remind Me, Lord

When I search for you 
In the breadth and depth of the ocean,
I forget You are the ocean.

When I search for you
On the mighty mountaintop,
I forget You are the mountain.


When I search for You
In the rolling clouds,
I forget You are the sky.


I forget You are
Everywhere––
around us,
through us.

I forget You are
Everywhen––
Then, now, forever.
Remind me, Lord.

When I forget,
I am blind.

When I forget,
I am deaf.

Blinded and deafened,
I deny.

Denying,
I drain.

Drained empty,
I need.

I need
Your filling. 

Fill me soul.
Fill my life.

May I not forget.
Remind me, Lord.
