We search for what we left behind

Hoping we’ll find peace of mind

The memories are real

Too difficult to conceal

We search for something old

The things we use to hold

What use to make us smile

Things that last awhile

What made us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

And what we love

Like heaven above

We search for what we left behind

It seems so very close

We search more than most

For what gave us purpose

How it rose to the surface

What made us rejoice

When we heard God’s voice

What we use to treasure

Beyond all measure

God’s way

How we prayed every day

Our solid ground

And the peace of mind

We left behind
