Deep in My Soul

I reach deep in my soul and find God there,
there is no depth where He cannot be found,
or search the stars to find Him everywhere,
He is inside, outside, and all around.

God's in my soul more than He's in the stars,
closer to me than He is far above,
more deep in me than in the world's bazaars,
for He lives most where most abides His love.

I have to stretch to sense Him in my soul,
and yet sometimes He'll catch me by surprise,
I see Him best when I give up control,
and humbly I submit to One more wise.

O God, You fill the universe and me,
I sink my soul, my self, my whole in Thee.
