Three-Fold Search

I walked the earth in search of God,   
Explored a thousand different creeds.      
But found him in the furrowed sod,      
A babbling brook and a fresh-sown seed.

For faith I searched with brain and breath.        
Through mighty volumes part by part;   
But at the gentle kiss of death.     
I found it in my heart.        

I searched for truth and heard his voice.  
Across the span of time and space;    
Christ seemed so near, and yet so far;   
There in the night I saw his face.

His richness and beauty unmatched are,    
And peerless is his love.   
For in his palm I saw a scar. 
Above his head a Dove.
