-SEARCH FOR GOD-

I sought His love in lore of books,
--In charts of science's skill;

They left me orphaned as before--
--His love eluded still;

Then in despair I breathed a prayer;
--The Lord of Love was standing there!

I sought His love in sun and stars,
--And where the wild seas roll,

And found it not. As mute I stood,
--Fear overwhelmed my soul;

But when I gave to one in need,
--I found the Lord of Love indeed. ~~
