Only Here Can I Be

In him we live and move and have our being - Acts 17 v.28


The fish does not soar to find the sea,

nor the bird plunge to find the air.

Indwelt in you, of directions I’m free.

The fish does not soar to find the sea.

I live and move, only here can I be.

I dwell in the Presence, there is no elsewhere.

The fish does not soar to find the sea,

Nor the bird plunge to find the air.
