Where are You, Lord?

Where are you, lord?

ARE YOU THERE LORD? WHERE ARE YOU?

Are you on the altar Lord,

Where have they placed you now?

Are you in a side chapel

Or, perhaps, near the door?

Or at the entrance porch?

I have searched for you in vain

But you are not to be found.

Are you at the back of the Church

Why have they placed you there?

You are the Church Lord, so why the back seat?

Was it the parish council

Deciding at their last meet?

Or was it the Canon in his wisdom

And his faith that’s rather odd

Who thought the sanctuary too grand a place

For the Son of the living God?

                     Unknown

Ah, there You are!
