In search of
2 Corinthians 4:8-10
8 We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed, 10 always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body.
In search of …
A call for today and a stroke of good fortune’s flair
Someone new to care about in this never ending sea
Despair seems always foaming and spraying in the air
Underwriting the simple lie: “What will be should be”
It appears like fatalism much like all is beyond control
Like there is no purpose only just forms of existing
Darkness has imprinted as to make everyone a droll
In trying to convince for sure all relentlessly insisting
Hope secured in a box with a lid tightly secured
Help is just around the corner on a road that’s straight
Travelling along in a hurry to get nowhere for sure
Until we run out of gas where despair is saved
Tilling up with emptiness and so reaching for the stars
Wishing for showers of blessing in a hailstorm from above
Huffing and puffing to escape from where we think we are
As we run in circles in a field that’s far removed from love
In search of all the answers within the limitation of our mind
Discarding what we’ve learned through the experience in the past
Hungering for knowledge without purpose and effort of any kind
Though the roots of our emptiness are to be molded in a cast
