1328--My wandering days grew increasingly empty

My wandering days grew increasingly empty

1328

		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 worth while,
		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.
