”I sought Him, but I did not find Him.”  Song of Songs 3:1
“Scarcely had I passed by them when I found the One I love.”  3:4


I hear loud spoken words so true,
but Him I did not find,
somehow good lectures wouldn´t do
framed by somebody´s mind.

I did not find Him in a church
with all its platform show,
I feel it leaves me in the lurch,
no streams of life do flow!

I find Him, though, in solitude,
alone and in the dust,
but to the noisy multitude
I can´t myself adjust!

Poor in the Spirit He is there,
revealed He´s in His word
soon whispered to my soul in prayer
like warblings from a bird!

The echo from the Song of Songs
thus in my soul resounds,
I´ve found the One for whom it longs,
His joy again abounds!
