SEARCH NOT FOR GOD
Text: Eckhart von Hochheim, also known as Meister Eckhart, 13th-14th century
Music by Daniel Burton
Search not for God, neither here nor there;
No farther than your heart’s door stands he expectantly.
No need to call: he waits with urgency far beyond your own.
God is so near to us, yet we are turned away.
God is within; we are without.
God is at home with us; we are strangers to ourselves.
Search not for God.
