We look for you

Ruth Kirk

God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
(1 John 4:16; NLT).

1. Lord,
We look for you
Beyond ourselves:

2. Searching,
Longing,

3. Thirsting
Day by day;

4. When all the time
You dwell, Lord God,
Within us:

5. For you are
Our soul,

6. Our life, our truth,
Our way.

  • I like this very much, Ruth. Sometimes I frantically search for God, whether it’s in another book, a website, outward signs … when all the time, if I slowed down and calmly reminded myself of the words in your prayer that God is with me internally and not just externally. Beautifully written.

    I hope you’re having a good day! :) xxx
