Run to Thee

I’ve looked at life now for many years
and the truth is that here, there are many tears.
No denying that death and evil are real and are the reason for life’s pain
Wanting for more I ached for something better to attain.
In myself I tried to find what is life sustaining, good and pure.
Fragmented glimpses of these things I found to be sure.
As I searched the Scriptures I found goodness and purity’s true source.
It was here I found that God the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth was and is evil’s only true opposing force.
In response I cling to Him,
In response I repent my sin.
For He is faithful to forgive, and he has promised no more death and no more tears.
How pure, how good, how everlasting is He.
Oh Lord how I need to run to Thee.
