How can I find you, God of the ages,
How can I call you into my life?
Your Word that made me calls me to listen;
My heart is restless, searching for you.
Life is your bounty, passed through our own love,
Nurtured by parents, guided by friends;
Pleasures your good gifts, taken with wisdom;
Our hearts are restless, longing for you.
You searched and found us, took on our frail flesh,
Drew us to love you, fell at our feet,
Rose up in glory, sent us your Spirit;
Our hearts find rest now, resting in you.

Our hearts are restless, longing for you.
You searched and found us, took on our frail flesh,
Drew us to love you, fell at our feet,
Rose up in glory, sent us your Spirit;
Our hearts find rest now, resting in you.
