Searching for Us

We roam and we ramble
Get lost and get tangled
In the thorns and the bramble
Confused and alone

Like children, we flee
From the thing that we need
And stray without heed
Far away from our home

And helpless, we stand
In a desolate land
It's cold, wet, and dreary
We're lonesome and weary

But our hearts tend wander
Though truth claps like thunder
We still tend to run from
The King that we love

But He's searching for us from the east to the west
Through the rivers of fire, to the cold wilderness
Like a Father, he loves, like a Shepard, he seeks
And he'll never give up till he brings home his sheep again

When he finds me, he calls
Standing winsome and tall
And helpless, I fall
To the ground at His feet

But then he sweeps up His bride
Looks me deep in the eye
And tells me He'd die
if that's what it costs

To make me believe
That astonishingly
He loves me for me
No matter what

But He's searching for us from the east to the west
Through the rivers of fire, to the cold wilderness
Like a Father, he loves, like a Shepard, he seeks
And he'll never give up till he brings home his sheep again

Lift your head, love
Hear the sound of
The voice of Jesus
Searching for Us

All you yearning
For the morning
The dawn is coming
He's searching for us
He's searching for us
He's searching for us
