Searching Widely

 

Searching Widely

 

Searching widely, far and near,

When most uncertain; facing fear,

And, all around is swirling doubt,

While your own strength is giving out.

 

Then faith in God with whom you trust,

Stand strong upon His strength, you must,

Within his arms a loving warm,

He’ll guide you through the rampant storm.

 

Creator of all life we see,

Sustainer of all life is He,

When all you see are shifting sands,

He’ll lift you with Almighty Hands.

 

Yes, walk by faith and not by sight,

To see the Savior’s glorious light,

Through raging sea and crashing foam,

Tis God alone twill bring you home!
