I Seek Thee Poem by Godfrey Morris

Nothing will compare to the oasis I now seek

These arid eyes betray the fountain it seeks

Submerged in a desert dust of cries


I seek high and low, as mountains greet the sky

As seas search their weary depths

I seek thee, as a song demands a humming melody

I seek thy presence as how wise men follow reason

I seek thy ways as lord Justice seeks to right

Oppressors’ wrongs

I seek all pleasures as how an addict demands ecstacy

I seek thy faith as how the righteous surrender their praise

I seek thee greatly, as much as the eagle desires

to roam the vaccant skies


Precious love!

Where have thou fled?

Far away from natures divine creed?

Absent from thine own heart’s desire?

I seek lost understanding of life’s cruel ways

I seek to find, as the river seeks the sea

Love! I seek thee still

Just as the light intends to tame the shrewd of the night

I seek hoping to find, causing my will to die

I seek thee to be calm and be at peace


Oh Dear, Sweet, Precious Love

I pray that you relieve me now -

For all there is to be - I do find in thee

And with your Love I can now see
