SURELY THE LORD IS IN THIS PLACE

Last year I told you about the Questa

Catholic Church, San Antonio de Padua Church,

 that was being renovated by the parishioners.

 

 

They are still working on it, and

Vannie and Dave stopped in to check out their progress.

 

There was a wonderful article in the Taos News. 

While the parishioners and community members are

busy renovating, another group is working on

creating new stained glass windows.

 

 

 

Marcus Rael is heading up the window's team. 

The article stated that he got inspiration from a pilgrimage.

One window will depict the church's patron saint, San Antonio.

Other windows will depict San Ysidro, Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Christ child.

 

The renovation project has been going on for 5 years.

The parishioners hope to celebrate Christmas in the new church.

 

Vannie said that when she was walking through the church,

a song came to mind..."Surely the Lord is in This Place" by

Lanny Wolfe. 

 

 

Surely the Lord is in this place.

I can feel His mightly power and His grace.

I can hear the brush of angel's wings.

I see glory on each face.

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.

 

 

In the midst of His children the Lord said He would be.

It doesn't take very many; it can be just two or three.

And I feel that same sweet spirit that I felt often times before.

Surely I can say I've been with the Lord.

 

 

There's a holy hush around us as God's glory feels this place.

I've touched the hem of His garment,

I can almost see His face.

And my heart is overflowing with the fullness of His joy.

I know without a doubt that the Lord is in this place.

 

 

Surely the Lord is in this place.

I can feel His mightly power and His grace.

I can hear the brush of angel's wings.

I see glory on each face.

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.
