Keep on seeking, and you will find (Matthew 7:7; NLT).
1. In silence, Lord,
I start afresh,
By seeking you
With every breath.
2. In stillness, Lord,
I try again,
By whispering
Your holy name.
3. In solitude,
I aim, once more,
To find you, Lord,
And to adore.
4. In darkness, Lord,
I hope anew,
And, reaching out,
I wait for you.
