God could have made the world and walked;
Walked with, “Have a nice day.”
He could be distant (instead of watching every instant)
Interested, but not too much “as such.”
God could be somewhere in the “air”
Without a fraction of His face
Without a glimpse of His grace;
There, but always “in His place” (and never near)
He could be the ultimate “Player” in hide-n-seek
Impossible to find unless He wanted to be found
But God, joyful contrast, wanted us to see
Wanted/wants us to sense His presence,
Ah, more than we do now,
So, in His interesting Book
He repeatedly shows us how.
