I Seek
In the world, I seek…
Peace, but find chaos…
Love, but find hate…
Justice, but find condemnation…
Mercy, but find cruelty…
Compassion, but find judgement…
I seek, but never find…
I am seeking in the wrong place…
Where? Where is the answer to be found?
I am lost…
I am lost…
I turn my eyes to the hills…
Jesus…
In Him, I find…
A peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7)…
A love that never fails ( 1 Corinthians 13:8)…
A justice that upholds the cause of the oppressed (Psalm 146:7)…
Tender mercies from a loving God (Psalm 25:6)…
A compassion that is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23)…
In Jesus I have no fear…
“In the world you will have tribulation. but take courage; I have overcome the world!” (John 16:33)
