Seeking in the Light

Songtext

**[Verse 1]** I was sixteen, afraid and alone, I couldn't find rest, I couldn't find peace, I was scared and felt like dying, Then I remembered they say, Jesus loves me. I didn't know how to pray, I only knew what to say: **[Pre-Chorus]** “Jesus, if You really are who they say, You may be my only hope today.” **[Chorus]** I thought I was searching for Jesus, But Jesus was searching for me. When I cried out from the darkness, His love came and set me free. I thought I was reaching for Heaven, But Heaven was reaching for me. Before I ever knew His name, **Jesus was searching for me.** **[Verse 2]** Then in Your presence, I opened my heart, I confessed my sins, each one from the start. You washed me clean and took my shame, Your mercy covered me in Jesus' name. Then Your Holy Spirit filled me with joy, A peace so deep nothing could destroy. My heart overflowed, my soul sang free, And all I could say was, “Father, I love You.” **[Chorus]** I thought I was searching for Jesus, But Jesus was searching for me. When I cried out from the darkness, His love came and set me free. I thought I was reaching for Heaven, But Heaven was reaching for me. Before I ever knew His name, **Jesus was searching for me.** **[Bridge]** Now I know, now I see, Your grace was always reaching me. I wasn't looking, but You knew my heart. You found me when I was falling apart. **[Final Chorus]** I thought I was searching for Jesus, But Jesus was searching for me. Your love found me, Your grace saved me, And Your Spirit set me free. I wasn't searching for Jesus— **Jesus was searching for me.** I wasn't searching for Jesus— **Jesus was searching for me.** **[Outro]** On Valentine's Day, I gave You my heart, But You had been seeking me from the very start. **Jesus, You showed me You love me and I love you so.**
