Already Here

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Already Here

Aaron Niequist

we don’t have to say:

“come and fill this place.”

we don’t have to pray:

“will You show Your face?”

we don’t have to move

into a Holy space.

we don’t have to say:

“come into this place.”

because You’re already here, You’re already here, You’re already here.

open up our eyes

the Truth is all around

Your fingerprinted skies

Your holy muddy ground

we want to walk beside

Your ever-present care

we cannot be alone

You’re always everywhere

because You’re already here, You’re already here, You’re already here.

ever-present love

ever-reaching grace

ever-patient hope

reflecting in each face

help us find the good

in our every day

though ugliness abounds

You haven’t gone away

because You’re already here, You’re already here, You’re already here.

holy

glory

holy, almighty

You are already here

Hear it here.
