**All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I didn’t know what I was looking for** Searching the Earth for to fill my need Sloth and envy and pride, jealousy lust and greed Money, popularity, status, possessions; the life I lead **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I didn’t find what I was looking for** Looking for love in all the wrong places Never one to stay for long in any case Living life at a breakneck pace **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I couldn’t find what I was looking for** Leaving me hungrier; wholly unsatisfied Nothing helped. There wasn’t one thing I hadn’t tried So elusive it was: true happiness and joy I was denied **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core But I wouldn’t find what I was looking for** The world had nothing left for me; I gave up hope And at the bottom of a very steep and slippery slope Nowhere left to run and ready to die. **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I never found what I was looking for…** Down to me came a rope. Taking that rope my life changed forever that day The light in my dark, show me the right way What happened I couldn’t really say. **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I might have found what I’ve been looking for** I still fall and lose my way. God knows I’m not perfect It’s a long hard road, but God believes I’m worth it And I know you have a plan for me. Still not sure where I fit **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I think I found what I’ve been looking for** Life giving water, sustaining bread, and solid ground Love, joy, and peace. New life I see all around What I’ve always been looking for, I’ve finally found **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I (Finally) found what I’m looking for!** Thank You Jesus! AMEN

I (Finally) Found What I'm Looking For
**All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I didn’t know what I was looking for** Searching the Earth for to fill my need Sloth and envy and pride, jealousy lust and greed Money, popularity, status, possessions; the life I lead **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I didn’t find what I was looking for** Looking for love in all the wrong places Never one to stay for long in any case Living life at a breakneck pace **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I couldn’t find what I was looking for** Leaving me hungrier; wholly unsatisfied Nothing helped. There wasn’t one thing I hadn’t tried So elusive it was: true happiness and joy I was denied **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core But I wouldn’t find what I was looking for** The world had nothing left for me; I gave up hope And at the bottom of a very steep and slippery slope Nowhere left to run and ready to die. **All my life I’ve been searching for something more Something missing; an emptiness down in my core And I never found what I was looking for…** Down to me came a rope.
