As if, Lord, you are there
1 As if, Lord, you are there,
I live my life each day.
I walk by faith, not sight:
there is no other way.
2 There is no other way -
for who might hope to prove
your presence in this world,
your faithfulness and love?
3 Your faithfulness and love
can seem remotely far;
through glass I darkly see
the truth of who you are.
4 The truth of who you are
I struggle to construe
but, Lord, your word is plain
for me to hear and do.
5 For me to hear and do!
The doing sets me free
to be the child of God
that I am meant to be.
