Searching
For years I groped in darkness
Yet my searching was in vain
For I could find no solace
Nor a balm to ease my pain
Night after night after sleepless night
As I lay in my bed
I fought against the demons
That lived inside my head
The love I had for others
Was in a fleeting moment gone
The lusts and fleshly pleasures
Only left me more alone
My gold and earthly treasures
Could not buy me peace of mind
I desired to know life’s meaning
Yet the answer I could not find
Then I heard a voice call to me
Yet I looked and saw no one
But it was if inside my soul
A brilliant light came on
The voice was calling out to me
Calling me his child
Suddenly my spirit felt so calm
And it was then I smiled
For I knew what I’d been missing
In the depth of my soul
All was clear like the sun
When away the clouds roll
Now the darkness nor the pain
No longer fill my life
Now there is happiness
Where once there was misery and strife
No longer do the demons
Live inside my head
The love and peace of Jesus
Resides there now instead
