Lord, so often I'm looking for the next thing Believing that, happiness, it will bring Then I find, to my dismay, it's not true at all And, once again, my dreams and hopes fall I'm looking for something to call my own I'm longing for the feeling that I'm finally home A place where I'm truly loved and fully known A place where I never again have to feel alone You say you have a plan for me: I believe it is true You tell me that you love me: I believe that you do You say you'll be always with me: I believe this too You ask me just to trust, and I still hold back from you The things of this world are fast and fleeting But you love and word are forever keeping When the affections of earth are cruel and cold Help me recall love's anchor to which I must hold
Lord, teach me how to be wholly satisfied Break these bonds of selfishness and pride You are my shepherd, there is nothing that I lack As I cast my eyes ahead, help me not look back My eyes are ever wand'ring And my heart, ever restless But as I come into your presence I am speechless, I am breathless I stand amazed in wonder and in awe As I see before me the very throne of God The angels sing and anthems ring Shouts of praise: Hosanna to our King Holy, Holy, Holy saturates the air Tears fill my eyes, and I don't even care And now, like the morning sun, it dawns: That this is where my heart belongs The feeling fades and yet it lingers still By your goodness and grace, it always will
