When God Seems So Near

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I'm so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter his cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near

There are times when I cannot feel his presence
When the clouds of doubt obscure the master's smile
But when I'm still enough to hear his gentle whisper
Then I know my lord has been there all the while

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I'm so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter his cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I'm so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter his cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near
These are the times when God seems so near
