within...


"I was wandering like a lost sheep,

searching outside myself for that which was
within.

I ran through all the streets and squares of this great city, the world,
searching for Thee, God,

and I found Thee not;

because I sought Thee wrongly.

Thou wert within me and I sought Thee without."
