Like a Psalm of David, this song's desperate cry for God in the midst of difficulty, combined with the haunting guitar and disarming vocals has a universal appeal.

lyrics

Where are you now, God, where are you now
Is heaven so big that you can't hear these sounds
You're everywhere I know, but I still feel quite alone
Do you come by sometimes when I'm around

Here I am here, God, here I am here
Do the millions of voices make it hard to hear
I know you're important, I know that you're busy
But I'm calling, cos I need you to come near

Your majesty, you are wonderful
creator all powerful
You're a small voice, so elusive
Just don't tell me you're exclusive

Spaceships couldn't find you
And Science cannot prove you
Big ships can't defeat you
And athletes cannot lose you

Thinkers sometimes find you
And sinners will deny you
But seekers who pursue you
Sometimes cannot find you

Where are you now, God, where are you now
I can't hear your voice and I can't see your cloud
I know that you hear me no matter how loud
But I want you near me, please come around

Your majesty, you are wonderful
creator all powerful
You're a small voice, so elusive
Please don't tell me you're exclusive
