I have broken out of my prison
but I am still not free.
I have been comforted in weakness
yet I have too little strength.
I have experienced the warmth and depth of human friendship
but I am not fulfilled.
I seek, I give, I possess
and yet I yearn -
It is You I seek, O Lord,
my unlosable friend forever.
Fill me up, Lord -
complete me -
I will be restless
Until I rest in You.
