I tried to fix my discontent
with books and verse and song
And when I had to face myself,
I learned that I was wrong...
I leaned to man to satisfy,
my soul could not find rest
And stifled by the subtle lies,
my mind was in a mess...
I searched for Wisdom selfishly
my motives were not pure
So when the fires of hardship came,
I struggled to endure...
I grappled with my restlessness
I tried to solve and please;
When longings could not be assuaged,
I fell down on my knees...
Again I looked towards the Cross
and Love was waiting there
With crown of thorns, with nails and scars,
How was I unaware?
Why did I turn to other gods,
how could my heart not see?
There's only One who truly saves:
He died and rose for me.
