5. The Longing 

In each heart there is a longing 
In each soul a desperate cry 
To know if life holds some true meaning 
Or do we simply live and die 

All the pleasures and decisions 
Leave the sinking spirit dry 
In each heart there is a longing 
Only Jesus satisfies 

In each life that comes the question 
Is there more than meets the eye 
And will we see the eternal 
When the world and days run try 

So we're searching so we're finding 
The difference between truth and lies 
While in each heart there is a longing 
Only Jesus satisfies 

Mystery on a hillside 
The purest love expressed 
Guilty lips cried forgive me 
In that moment I found rest 

So we're searching so we're finding 
the difference between truth and lies 
While in each heart there is a longing 
Only Jesus satisfies 
While in each heart there is a longing 
Only Jesus satisfies
