If I should flee this place You’ve made
And run to shadows deeply hidden,
If I should hide my face from You
Would You yet watch o’er me unbidden?
Under seas, where darkness dwells
Should here I choose to live anew
Or in skies too vast to see—
Nowhere can I fly from You.
In deepest hell, still You descend
Seeking Your lost lamb awry;
No matter the retreat I choose,
Never far from You am I.
Under throes of nightmares,
Or dreams alight with ecstasy
Here You come to twilight’s lines
T’ light new love astir in me.
In the depths of my own black soul
Here I find You still pursue:
Outside all time, in all the world
I find my heart seeks only You.
