My wandering days grew increasingly empty
As I searched for the way,
Just to fill this gap inside me—
Found my seeking vain.
Though all this dark earth would convince me
life’s worthwhile,
Inside all my mirth
Was a cry for something real.
Don’t you lie to me, world!
As I searched for the way,
Just to fill this gap inside me—
Found my seeking vain.
Though all this dark earth would convince me
life’s worthwhile,
Inside all my mirth
Was a cry for something real.
Don’t you lie to me, world!
For my heart tells me different
When I hear of contentment
Deep within a lack knew better
Why not be honest, world.
When I hear of contentment
Deep within a lack knew better
Why not be honest, world.

A flood of strong doubt as I heard the old story
Of a man they called Lord;
Yet my heart ne’er ceased to wonder,
Is He really Lord?
A search in His Word found my hardened
heart softened,
And earth’s vanities faded.
In the brightness of His presence
Jesus came into me.
Of a man they called Lord;
Yet my heart ne’er ceased to wonder,
Is He really Lord?
A search in His Word found my hardened
heart softened,
And earth’s vanities faded.
In the brightness of His presence
Jesus came into me.
Now we’re always together
Growing into God’s fullness.
O Lord Jesus, how I love You!
You brought life into me.
Growing into God’s fullness.
O Lord Jesus, how I love You!
You brought life into me.

Our new search! If you have been raised to life along with Christ, seek with your hearts things above and focus your attention on things up there, not on things on earth.
So put to death wicked cravings--and (Col. 3:16) sing to the Lord with grateful hearts.

Oh Lord Jesus!
This song really moves me every time I read the lyrics. As much as I hate to say it, I am brought to almost joyful tears as I realize what the Lord has done for me.

Oh! My life WAS as the first stanza: wandering days, increasingly empty, gap, vain seek, dark. My mirth was a cry because the world is a liar. BUT Jesus came into me! Now we’re always together growing into God’s fullness! He brought life into me! Hallelujah!
