THE GIRL YOU DIDN’T GIVE UP ON

There’s this emptiness in my soul, this void that yearns to be filled,

I’ve heard of God but I don’t really know Him,

“He spoke in the fellowship today,” said my friend

“What’s His voice like and how does He speak?” I asked myself.

I craved for an experience with God, but He gave me more…

The Person behind the experiences… Christ Jesus.

Why spend money on what is not bread and your your labor on what doesn’t satisfy?

No amount of money, knowledge, pleasure could take Jesus’s place,

I found the well of living waters; the more I beheld Him, the more I wanted Him

He instilled such a hunger in my heart that being away from Him felt like torture,

Alas! I had found the One my heart loves.

I was so imperfect yet You loved me,

But I was struggling, the weight of sin heavy on my shoulders,

I felt like I let You down and hated myself for not being it,

And so I turned my back on You and followed after my idols,

I forsook the springs of living water and dug my own cistern that could not hold water.
