Who are you? What are you? Where are you? When I greet the new day In a hymn to the rising sun, I sense your presence. When I trace the veins Of a maple leaf, I feel your substance. When my gaze is held by a sunset That colors the western sky, I see your glory. There is no need to look afar, For in the rainbow's magic arc I see a wonder ever new. I am not worthy to name You, But I hold You in my heart, And pray one day to know You.
