1. Seek him in darkness,
And find him in stillness.
Listen in silence,
And pray, on your own.
2. See him in paradox,
Active, unchanging:
Christ is in paradise,
Waiting, alone.
3. Meet him in darkness,
And bow down in stillness.
Christ speaks in silence:
His words fall like dew.
4. See him in paradox,
Active, unchanging:
Christ is in paradise,
Waiting for you.
