The Seeker

I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
And you are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
'cause I am a seeker
And you are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way
I am a vessel that's empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
And you are my last hope
Don't turn me away
I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
And you are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
'cause I am a seeker
And you are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way
Oh, I know you are a mountain
From which there flows a fountain
So let it's water wash my sins away
'cause I am a seeker
And you are a keeper
You are a teacher
Won't you teach me the way
Reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
'cause I am a seeker
And you are a keeper
You are the leader
Won't you show me the way
