My wandering days grew increasingly empty

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!

For my heart tells me different 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.

Now we're always together Growing into God's fullness. O Lord Jesus, how I love You! You brought life into me.
