a statment of searching and discovering
I WAS LOST IN MY CONCEPTION
WHO CAN FIND ME
AND WHERE SHALL MY EXISTENCE BE
COULD IT BE IN THEE

YOUR CONNOTATION I THOUGHT I PERCEIVED
BUT FOUND NOT YOUR PREMISE
FROM WHERE SHALL COME MY PERSPECTIVE
WHAT CAN BE MY SIGNIFICANCE

TIME HAS TAUGHT, MISLED AND LEFT ME ATHIRST
I SOUGHT WITH YOU TO DRINK OF YOUR CUP
AN ERRONEOUS HOPE OF MY CIRCUMSTANCE
FOR YOURS WAS TO GRACIOUSNESS, MINES NOT AS SUCH

I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME
I SELF-CONTAINED IN AN EARTHLY REALM
YOU ARE ECUMENICAL INFINITE AND ETERNAL
FALLACIOUSLY SEARCHING THROUGH-OUT LAND AND SEE
BEWILDERMENT I FOUND, YOU I COULD NOT SEE

WITH SCHOLARLY DUTY I SEARCH THE SCROLL FOR A HINT
AS TO WHERE I SHOULD GO AND WHERE YOU HAD WENT
SEARCHING OBEDIENCE LIKE A DISCIPLE WHO FOLLOWS
TRACING STEPS OLD AND KNOWN TO BE HALLOW

WHEN I FOUND YOUR WAY I ENDEAVORED TO COME
BUT MY CHAINS TO THE WORLD WOULD NOT BE UNDONE
SECURED IN OBSCURITY, BLACKNESS SO DARK
THE KEY TO MY PRISON THE LIGHT LOCKED AWAY IN MY HEART

HOW SHALL I FIND ME WITHOUT THE WARMTH OF YOUR LIGHT
AND HOW SHALL I FIND YOU IN MY DARKNESS OF SIGHT
I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME

THEY SAY YOU ARE DEFINED AS PERFECT LIBERTY
WORD SAYS YOUR IN DIVINITY, I IN INIQUITY
I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME
MY MIND’S EYE IS QUICK TO FORGET
MY SOUL’S EXEGESIS AND PURPOSEFULNESS

I LOOK IN A MIRROR TO SEE WHOM I BE
BEHOLDING AN IMAGE OF YOU OR OF ME
I’M SEPARATE FROM WHOLENESS APART FROM YOU
BUT OUR PARITY AND ONENESS I’VE FOUND IN YOUR TRUTHS

I FIND AND FOUND THAT IN YOU THERE IS WE
NOT ONLY IN THEORY DO I KNOW THIS TO BE
THAT YOU ARE IN ME AND I AM IN YOU
JUST AS YOUR HALLOW TRINITY,  A FACTUAL TRUTH
I’M TRYING TO FIND YOU AND ME
