I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
U2 - I Still haven't found what I'm looking for - Joshua Tree
Bono writes beautiful honest lyrics. U2's songs often ring a chord within my being.
Remember how sometimes you can be lonely when in a crowd and feel empty even when busy? It happens at times to all of us. It's happening to me now.
"God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. "
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT)
God has placed a desire in our hearts; we desire eternity for we were made for another world. A world of deep intimate meaningful relationships; where work and its results are significant; and where truth, love, faith and hope reigns.
But... it is so difficult when you are in this world - beautiful but fallen. When you struggle with a continent of loneliness; when you find your work mundane; and when you see lies, and hate and despair about you. It is so easy to fall into despair or be tempted to walk the broad road.
I wake up daily and ask for grace. Grace enough again for this day for me to continue on the narrow way - the way of Jesus.
