David De la Croes - Sensing Jesus

I have seen a rainbow
in a dropp of fresh dew
and a flight to freedom
in an abandoned shoe
and in a beggar's face
I have, Jesus, seen you.

I have heard the dawn break
as the morning greets us
and the despairing cry
of a dying fœtus
and in words of comfort
have I heard you, Jesus.

I have felt the trembling
of those who fear the night
and the hope created
by a flickering light
Your gentle touch, Jesus
brings my soul full delight.

I have smelled the nectar
in tall stems of flowers
and the cool refreshment
of the gentle showers
the fragrance of your love
sweetens, Jesus, my hours.

I have tasted goodness
of unselfish givers
and the sweetest waters
of free-flowing rivers
your body and your blood
refresh my soul, Jesus.

David De la Croes
