Grace in the Margins

A space where God's presence meets life's detours

Here With Me

A meditation on God’s nearness—written in confinement, in awe of a presence that remains personal amid infinite scale.

By Steve Wilkins

Millions of people calling Your Name
    every face You see
Oh, my God, how can it be
    that You would be here with me

The sun, the moon, stars in the sky
    each set in place by Thee
their light and course maintained by You
    and yet, You’re here with me

How can I know
    or can it be known
    the how’s and why’s of Your plan
The sun, the moon, stars in the sky
    and yet, You’re here with me



*Written in confinement.*
