God, where are you?

In my heart, my soul or all around?

I can’t see you at all

It would be delightful to know where you are!

In the temple, church, gurudwara or mosque

Ram, Rahim, Nanak, Buddha – who are they?

For some you are Bhagwan, for some Allah

For others you are Christ or Wahe Guru

But for me you are the Almighty

All say you are invisible

But for me you are visible

And I believe you are in my heart

To make my life worth living.
