De Profundis

Far deep down inside my soul,
Down to where I seldom go-
There is a longing, soft, but strong,
Hope is calling Hope along.

"Come to me, come deep inside
your inmost soul where I reside.
The love I've given, strong and true,
My Love is calling Love in you."

I'm still not sure just where to go
to find the center of my soul-
Listen soft and listen still--
Divine calling Will to will.

With stumbled steps I heed Your voice,

Approaching You, we both rejoice.

My eyes don't see, but still I know,

Light is calling light to grow.

"Fathom depths inside of you,
and find your Lord is in there, too."
From the depths I cry to Thee,
For Deep is calling deep in me.
