Soul Quest

We're pilgrims on a quest
From our time of birth
Seeking peace and rest
Whilst dwelling on the Earth.

Lonely; unfulfilled
Driven by a need
For turmoil to be stilled
To be loved and freed.

Missing God so much
Needing only Him
Yearning for His touch
To be filled within.

Deep cries unto Deep
Seeking the Divine
Roused from slumber; sleep
Running out of time.

Our quest can only end
Once we've found the Way
Learned to trust; depend
Upon God every day.

Waters will be stilled
Peace will reign within
Lonely hearts be filled
When we know Christ the King.
