Here, O my LORD, I see Thee face to face…
face to face with God in a coffee barista
face to face with God in newsprint images
ear to whisper with God in a secret shared, a fear named aloud
ear to conversation with God in a chatting child
hand to hand with God in a toddler, in a lover
hand to virtual hand with God in a facebook friend
soup pot to bowl with God at a church dinner
serving spoon to plastic spoon with God at a community breakfast
Here, O my LORD, I see Thee face to face!
(hymn text by Horatius Bonar, 1855)
