Searching For Jesus
I went out to find You
I started at a school
I thought I would see You
Holding the Golden Rule
I walked down the hallways
Checked every single door
listened for sounds of praise
But you weren't there any more
I went to the Court house
Surely they want You there
To help a battered spouse
But no one seems to care
You were not welcome
No more justice any more
The old ways are forgotten
They've pushed You out the door
I went looking at the mall
Because it is the season
You weren't there blessing us
It was Santa for some reason
Maybe You were waiting
Patiently for me at home
My spirit started singing
Surely there You would roam
Upon my arrival
I expected to find You there
I picked up my Bible
To prove how much I care
At once I start to choke
I couldn't stop my cough
The dust it was like smoke
I tried to wipe off
I'm part of the problem
I should take time to pray
If I want to taste Your freedom
I shouldn't throw Your Love away
