Looking For A Savior

I abandon my addiction to the certainty of life

And my need to know everything

This illusion cannot speak

It cannot walk with me at night

As I taste life’s fragility

I am looking for a savior

I can see and know and touch

One who dwells within the midst of us

May a broken God be known

Within the earth beneath our feet

Let our souls behold humility

Let our souls behold humility

When our plans become the casualties

Of getting through the day

And we begin to know our weakness

And denial isn’t strong enough to hold our fears at bay

And we can’t escape our emptiness

I see the sympathy of heaven in the earth

And wind and trees

I see hope within the morning sun

I am searching for meaning

I am looking for healing

I am haunted by your reflection

I was blinded by my addictions

I am torn apart by the dying

I am giving up on escaping

Will learn to live without taking

Will I learn to see beauty in the making

I can’t pretend to know

The beginning from the end

But there’s beauty in the life that's given

We may bless or we may curse

Every twist and every turn

Will we learn to know the joy of living
