You Were in Me

Brother Roger Schutz of Taize (1915)

You were in me, Christ, you were always there, and I was not seeking you. When I had found you, so often I forgot you. But you continued to love me. From the depths of my being, a fire was rising to take hold of me. I was burning for you to be everything in my life. I was calling you; You, the Christ, are the only way; I have no other.
