Words by Joel Hanson



In each heart there is a longing 

In each soul a desperate cry 

To know if life has some true meaning 

Or if we simply live and die 

Earthly pleasures and possessions 

Leave the sinking spirit dry 

In each heart there is a longing 

Only Jesus satisfies 



In each life there comes the question 

Is there more than meets the eye 

And what will we see of the eternal 

When the well of days runs dry? 

So we search with so few finding 

The difference between truth and lies 

While in each heart there is a longing 

Only Jesus satisfies 



Mysetery on a hillside 

The purest love expressed 

Guilty lips cry forgive me 

In that moment I found rest 



So we search with so few finding 

The difference between truth and lies 

While in each heart there is a longing 

Only Jesus satisfies
