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 *****
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
