Arlene Binner Poet Lyric

I Sought Him

I sought Him by the roadside,
Where the flowers grew so fair,
And breezes blew, and birds sang,
But He wasn't there.

I sought Him in the marketplace,
In the busy thoroughfare,
Among the hustling, bustling crowds,
But He wasn't there.

I sought Him deep within my heart,
Through solitude and prayer,
I sought Him, yes, with all my heart,
And now He's everywhere.

Yes He is always with me,
No matter where I roam,
Because, you see, I gave my heart,
To be His very home.
