I search for what my heart longs to be

In places and times, in people I meet.

Looking for peace in all the confusion

A special time with You alone I seek.

I look for things I cannot see

Sweet things I feel and long to keep

Some are found and some I need

For in finding, rest can come in deed

Filled with wanting, I look so deep

Into myself and outward to see

But finding I learn just what I need

Is not at all what I thought it to be

I long for comfort, to feel and heal

A laugh, a smile, a simple meal

To share with friends with grins and laughter

Fill this longing Lord from now foreafter

Bring me toYou here in time and place

Let me share today in Your holy grace

With those I touch in life’s short space

Together all longing to see Your face.
