I sought and he caught
I sought God's guidance.He caught my fear.
I sought God's Wisdom-light.
He caught my Ignorance-night.
I sought God's all-illumining Truth.
He caught my all-spreading Falsehood.
I sought God to own Him.
He caught me to give Himself.
I sought God because without Him I can do nothing.
He caught me because without me He wants to do nothing.
I sought God, I am now fulfilled.
God caught me.
He is now revealed.
