The poem, titled “Living Ever in the Presence of God: Coram Deo,” explores the theological concept of living all aspects of life before God’s presence. Written in a gender-neutral third-person perspective, it portrays an individual whose every action, thought, and moment—whether joyful, sorrowful, mundane, or profound—is lived with an awareness of God’s constant gaze. The poem emphasizes that no deed or thought escapes God’s sight, and every experience, from daily tasks to heartfelt prayers, is sacred when offered in reverence. It conveys a life of purpose, integrity, and worship, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary through the lens of divine presence. Ultimately, living Coram Deo is depicted as a state of spiritual freedom and connection, with the individual’s life reflecting God’s grace and eternal design.

They tread the earth with reverent care,
Each footfall soft, a whispered prayer.
Before God’s face, their days unfurl,
A tapestry of light and pearl.

Through joy’s embrace or sorrow’s sting,
Their heart lifts up, their soul takes wing.
No thought escapes His boundless sight,
No deed dissolves in fleeting night.

In market’s hum or meadow’s calm,
In labor’s toil or evening’s psalm,
Their moments, whether bold or meek,
Are known where Heaven’s eyes do seek.

The mundane blooms with sacred hue,
The ordinary shines anew.
For every breath, each fleeting glance,
Is held within God’s holy dance.

To live Coram Deo, pure and whole,
Is to bare the spirit, free the soul.
Before His gaze, they find their place,
Their life a mirror of His grace.
