When I see you in our midst
I remember your promise as you left
When I feel you all around
It's like you said, "With you for all time"
In our midst you're here now but you're still missed
When I lose sight of You, Lord
I'm lonely and bored, no joy in my heart
I see suffering all around and wonder
Is it true, Your kingdom found?
Your kingdom is come, here now among the body broken
You said, "Lo, I am with you until the end of time
And the truth is today, you'll be with me in paradise"
So I'm not afraid to die 'cause I'll be at home with You
For if I am absent from the body, I'll be present with You
When I hear Your word in my heart
I long to hear more, Your reason and rhyme
When I can't see You at all, I long to live in Your light for all time
To be where You are, it's better there by far, oh, such bliss
