(prayer taken from the Andrew Peterson song, Invisible God).
I give you praise, oh great invisible God, for the the moon in the space of the dark night, for the smile on a face in the sunlight. I give you praise, oh great invisible God, for the sound of the storm on the window, for the morning adorned with a new snow, for the tears on the face of the old man made clean by the grace of the good Lamb. Oh, invisible God.
And oh, I long to see your face, invisible God. All the works that you have made are clearly seen and plain as day, so mighty and tender. O Lord, let me remember that I see you everywhere, invisible God, in the seed that descends to the old earth and arises again with a new birth; in the sinner who sinks in the river and emerges again, delivered. Oh, invisible God.
And oh, I long to see your face, invisible God. All the works that you have made are clearly seen and plain as day, so mighty and tender. O Lord, let me remember Your power eternal, Your nature divine. All creation tells the tale that Love is real and so alive. I feel you, I hear you, great God unseen, I see you in the long, cold death that the winter brings and the sweet resurrection spring. Oh, invisible God.
