Words from Job 23 (adapted)
Oh, how I wish I could find Him!
I go forward, but He’s not there
And backward I can not perceive Him.
He acts on the left, I can’t behold Him,
He acts on the right, I cannot see Him.
He is unchanging, and who can believe in Him?
Yet what His soul desires, He does!
I am dismayed by His presence,
When I ponder, I am terrified and in awe
But I am strong, not silenced by the darkness
Nor deep gloom, which covers me.
