Echoes of the Search

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was sixteen, afraid and alone, I couldn't find rest, I couldn't find home. I didn't know how to pray, I only knew what to say: [Pre-Chorus] “Jesus, if You 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. Before I ever knew His name, Before I knew how to believe, I thought I was reaching for Jesus, But Jesus was reaching for me. [Verse 2] I opened my heart and confessed my sin, You washed me clean and welcomed me in. Your Holy Spirit filled me with joy, A peace so deep nothing could destroy. All I could whisper, through tears in my eyes, Was, “Father, I love You,” As Your love filled my life. [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. Before I ever knew His name, Before I knew how to believe, I thought I was reaching for Jesus, But Jesus was reaching 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 wasn't searching for Jesus, Jesus was searching for me. Your love found me, Your grace saved me, Your Spirit set me free. [Outro] On Valentine's Day, I gave You my heart. You had been seeking me from the very start. Jesus, You showed me You love me, And I love You so.
