For it is he

David Wayne Crites 1968 (New Mexico)

Free verse
It is he who lives in me,
For he resides in my soul.
For it is his beauty that lives in this world,
In all creation bestowed.
It is he that lives in the word,
In scripture. It is told.
For it is he who hears my prayers,
He answers them in time.
For it is he who lives in you,
His plan of the great devine.
