Arlene Binner Poet Lyric

I Want Something Beautiful To Live For

I want something beautiful to live for,
Something far beyond what eye can see,
Something far beyond what ear can hear,
Said my aching, lonely heart to me.

Then I heard a Voice from deep within me,
Say to me so very lovingly,
"I can satisfy your deepest longings,
All that you need do is come to Me."

"I am Alpha and I am Omega,
I am the Beginning and the End,
Come to Me and cast your cares upon me,
I will be your everlasting Friend."

I replied, "Oh, Lord, I will come to Thee,
I long for the Life You want to give,
You, Who satisfy our deepest longings,
Who, alone, can teach us how to live."
