I looked most of my life but seldom found
To solve that thing that had kept me bound
Looking high but not ever quite high enough
To find the perfect hand to beat life’s bluff
Somehow in my heart I knew already what it was
I just couldn’t get beyond the fall or the cause
If only perfect love for a long time I would see
Then I know that perfect love could live in me
It was against my nature against my selfish desire
But I felt it in the songs of the local church choir
It was impossible to explain but you could sure feel
And sense that God’s and Jesus Love was pure and real
So I sought his wisdom in prayer and in his holy word
I saw it everywhere in nature and in the song of bird
If he could lay down his perfection and die for me
Ask me to do the same for others so they could see
That grace and love were priceless and not be bought
That it takes pure sacrifice of self to be sought.
