Wherefore Art Thou Oh Lord

Wherefore art thou oh mine Lord oh mine Lord?
Wherefore art thou oh mine Lord oh mine Lord?
I hast diligently searched for Thee high and 
hast searched for Thine holy presence Low.
I hast searched for Thee and hast failed
to find Thee!

Wherefore art thou oh mine Lord oh mine Lord?
Wherefore art thou oh mine Lord oh mine Lord?
I hast scaled the mountain peaks. I have journeyed
into the ocean depts. I hast continued upward
and I hast journeyed downward in mine endless 
quest everywhere fort Thee.

Wherefore art thou oh mine Lord oh mine Lord?
Wherefore art thou oh mine Lord oh mine Lord?
I hast searched for Thee in the windy stormy sea.
I hast journeyed into the center of Thine world.
Only to discover lost and desperate souls there
endlessly. Endlessly lost throughout all eternity.

Then alas then at long last. Thou hast found me.
Thou hast ended mine  journey and mine quest
for Thee. I hast heardth  Thine still small voice.
"Peace be still. Mine peace I freely giveth
unto thee. Under the shelter of mine
wings I shalt keepth thee,"

Love in Christ Jesus!
