Trying to quench my thirst with
Arid fountains of pleasures
When all I needed was
Your overflowing mercy
Trying to satisfy my hunger with
Empty tables of possessions
When all I needed was
Your all-consuming grace
Trying to find my way in
Dark tunnels of iniquity
When all I needed was
Your guiding light
Trying to find my comfort
In the arms of a stranger
When all I needed was
Your unconditional love
Trying to find a fulfilling purpose
In my mundane mediocrity
When all I needed was
Your exceptional power
Trying to survive in my sufficiency
To hide all that I was lacking
When all I needed was
Your abundant compassion
Trying to use my earthly wealth
To make up for my limited knowledge
When all I needed was
Your unlimited blessings
Trying to find all the answers
To life's most challenging questions
When all I needed was
Your infinite wisdom
Trying to find my own entrance
Through the narrow passage to heaven
When all I needed was
Your eternal promise
Trying to find my way in
Dark tunnels of iniquity
When all I needed was
Your guiding light
