Searching for Us

We roam and we ramble Get lost and get tangled In the thorns and the bramble Confused and alone Like children, we flee From the thing that we need And stray without heed Far away from our home And helpless, we stand In a desolate land It's cold, wet, and dreary We're lonesome and weary But our hearts tend wander Though truth claps like thunder We still tend to run from The King that we love But He's searching for us from the east to the west Through the rivers of fire, to the cold wilderness Like a Father, he loves, like a Shepard, he seeks And he'll never give up till he brings home his sheep again When he finds me, he calls Standing winsome and tall And helpless, I fall To the ground at His feet But then he sweeps up His bride Looks me deep in the eye And tells me He'd die if that's what it costs To make me believe That astonishingly He loves me for me No matter what But He's searching for us from the east to the west Through the rivers of fire, to the cold wilderness Like a Father, he loves, like a Shepard, he seeks And he'll never give up till he brings home his sheep again Lift your head, love Hear the sound of The voice of Jesus Searching for Us All you yearning For the morning The dawn is coming He's searching for us He's searching for us He's searching for us --- Searching for Us - Skye Peterson
