1. Living God,
I’m your unworthy temple,
Where you shroud yourself
In darkness from my sight.
2. My mind, and heart, and soul
Dwell in your darkness,
But your closeness comforts me
Both day and night.
3. Lord, may I accept
This inner darkness,
Trusting in your presence
And your love,
4. Then I’ll gladly walk with you
In darkness,
Where we are one,
United through Christ’s blood.
