Isaiah 45:15 says: "Truly you are a God who hides himself, O God and Savior of Israel." I was inspired to write this song after reading a pamphlet by Witness Lee called "A God Who Hides Himself".

Story behind the song
Isaiah 45 15 Truly you are a God who hides himself, O God and Savior of Israel. Witness Lee (1905-1997) writes: The very fact that the church has continued on this earth for nearly two thousand years is the result of the work of Him who is a God who hides Himself. It is often true that the greater display accompanying any work, the less the divine content. Since all the work we do is done unto Him who hides Himself, it must be based on faith, not on sight. I trust these words will help some of us to realize that when we are most conscious of impotence, God is often most powerfully present. Don't look for greater things. Don't look for things other than they are. Don't set your expectation on some great vision or on some great experience. And don't expect anything outward, for the God who hides Himself is at work within your life, and He is working mightily. Your responsibility is to cooperate with Him by responding to His voice within—that “still small voice,” that voice that seems so much a part of your own feelings that you scarcely recognize it as a voice at all. To that voice, registered in the deepest depths of your being, you must say “Amen,” for there, secretly and ceaselessly, the God who hides Himself is working.
Lyrics
The God Who Hides First Verse Oh, our Father, how we long to see Your Face But that’s not the way You work down here You work behind the scenes in quiet, subtle ways You’re far away and yet so near Chorus You hide inside of Your creation, You hide inside of yielded lives You pour Yourself in hearts who walk by faith and not by sight You hide inside the still, small Voice a little child can recognize Help us to see You with our spirit – the God who hides Second Verse Oh, our Father, You’ve been know to hide Yourself In a cup of water from a friend You are the answer to a farmer’s simple prayer In the gentle rain You send Repeat Chorus Third Verse We caught of glimpse of You in Jerusalem one day We weren’t very kind to You Now You’re only seen with eyes that look in faith Who diligently search for You Repeat Chorus
