In each heart there is a longing
In each soul a desperate cry
To know if life has some true meaning
Or if we simply live and die
Earthly pleasures and possessions
Leave the sinking spirit dry
In each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
In each life there comes the question
Is there more than meets the eye
And what will we see of the eternal
When the well of days runs dry?
So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
Mysetery on a hillside
The purest love expressed
Guilty lips cry forgive me
In that moment I found rest
So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
Words by Joel Hanson In each heart there is a longing In each soul a desperate cry To know if life has some true meaning Or if we simply live and die Earthly pleasures and possessions Leave the sinking spirit dry In each heart there is a longing Only Jesus satisfies In each life there comes the question Is there more than meets the eye And what will we see of the eternal When the well of days runs dry? So we search with so few finding The difference between truth and lies While in each heart there is a longing Only Jesus satisfies Mysetery on a hillside The purest love expressed Guilty lips cry forgive me In that moment I found rest So we search with so few finding The difference between truth and lies While in each heart there is a longing Only Jesus satisfies Explain Request ×
