The soul longs for love

Coming from heaven above

It longs for peace

Only a silent prayer can release

It searches for a hand to hold

It longs to be bold

It looks all around

Wonders what it found

It searches for a safe place

To run its race

It tries to remove fear

When it sees God standing near

It tries to dream

As strange as it may seem

It faces every day

It tries to find its way

It looks for what’s in stone

It may feel all alone

It longs to smile

Even laugh a little while

It wants to be free

See what’s meant to be

It wants to let go

Of what it used to know

It tries to care

It longs to share

It tries to sit still

As it accepts God’s will

It searches for affection

It longs for protection

It tries to look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

It wants to reveal

What the heart can’t conceal

It tries to be strong

Be it right or wrong

It travels far

It tries to heal every scar

And it won’t pretend

It cries out until the end
