My Journey to God

The Search

I searched for You,
Uncertain what I was looking for.
Longing for a life of love,
Just knowing that there was more.

I longed for peace,
That wasn’t in the world of things.
With a soul starved for goodness,
That only holiness brings.

I longed for truth,
In a world that tried to satisfy,
Yet my soul was so empty,
That nothing could rectify.

Then You found me,
Offering Love, Peace and Truth.
Through Eucharist,
Your goodness brought me You.
