Absence

Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all

My criminal lines and faulty feat
Meet golden shrines by hymns so sweet
When raindrops fall on the ground
Does this mean that I, I have found

Where is my Presence, where is my Friend
I see the darkness, when will this all end

Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all
The absence is my Friend

My timorous tone and still stride find
Nine unknown by clouds divine
When I find my missing space
Daylight reveals my warm embrace

Where is my Presence, where is my Friend
I see the darkness, when will this all end

Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all
The absence is my Friend (absence, absence, absence)

Where is my Presence, where is my Friend
I see the darkness, when will this all end

Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all
The absence is my Friend
