Will I ever find what I am looking for/there are times when I know/exactly what I am searching for/and there are others/when I am just searching for myself/I am beginning to realize/this life is not about me/and me trying to find myself/in the things that I hold onto/and I often lose myself/while I am looking to other things. You have found me/just the way I am/and I can rest in the fact/that you have searched for me/and you found me/while I was looking for myself/and it is then I realize/how selfish looking out for myself is/and then I understand that life is about/what I can do for you/and I want to bring glory to your name/ I find myself chasing after/the things of this world/and trying to find myself in what/in what I do on earth/and when I run out of places to search/why is it then I come running to you for answers/and there is something about you/that allows me to find myself/in your presence/because I am part of your family/ Looking for myself is useless/because you have found me/at the end of my rope/and I am searching for new ways/to find you in the things/I was looking for myself in/teach me to see your reflection/in the things that I was looking for my own in/and teach me to reflect you/in everything I find meaning to.

I am looking forward to beginning/a new stage in this life/I know that with each thing/that I need to let go of/you will bring me close/and I know that God will make a way/and I am only just beginning this/time of new beginnings/so many times I wonder/is this all there is? I realize my life is full of new beginnings/and I embrace them.

As I grow further from familiarity/and enter into a new realm/the steps I choose to take/away from everything that I’ve known/and when my life feels so foreign to me/I know you are teaching me/that living for you/is full of new beginnings/and I want all that you have for me/so with each step I take/the way seems so different/

I am beginning to see that/a life of comfort/is not full of new beginnings/and if I want to see what lies around the bend/I need to trust you/to embrace your truth/and I need you to pull me away/from the things that I have/become so accustomed to/and the things that have been a way of life/and I am beginning to see what life is about/

As I grow older and this way of life/is becoming so distant/each choice I make/is full of new beginnings/so I ask myself could this be/a new beginning that/I am just beginning to see/so many times/I want to live beyond my dreams/and I know there are new beginnings/and I want to make a difference/in this world’s philosophy/
