I Speak Yet Am I Silent

I speak,

Yet am I silent:

I am dead,

Yet do I live:

I am in the world,

Yet do I dwell beyond the world:

I have surrendered all things,

yet am I rich and joyful:

I am lonely

Yet am I not alone:

I am not what I seem to be:

If you would know what I am

Ask Him, my Lord.
